What did you do to the G today?

But anyway before all that I need to figure out why one side is drooping lower. The driver side rear tucks a lot and rubs where as the passenger side has just about zero wheel gap (not tucking). I added a half inch piece of spring mount to "raise" the driver side rear since this pic which has helped but it's still noticeably lower. Does this wheel positioning look alright because I feel like its too far back, like some bushing is compromised or an arm is bent. The front left of the car looks to have been repaired as there's a new fender and some misalignment of panels so I wouldn't be surprised if the rear was affected too.

You think I should dial in some more neg chamber? I'm not sure about adding chamber just to avoid rubbing because I'd rather maintain the handling aspects of the car - as well as keeping inner shoulder wear on the tires to a minimum.

Driver side is always lower than passenger. Steering column and other stuff (read somewhere driver side weighs 140lbs more), plus the springs settling more on the driver side means it will be lower unless suspension is adjusted to compensate. For example, on my coils, my driver side front is 2mm longer than the passenger, and the driver rear is 6mm longer. I messed with it over 3 days to get it sitting flat. It's super annoying but well worth it, because the tire tucking problem annoyed the crap out of me.
by the way, thanks all for the inputs, I asked couple times elsewhere but there were no replies

You sure about this? My drivers rear was a full half inch, maybe more, lower than the other side - see this pic, the driver side is in an above post (to avoid clogging the thread). I added a half inch spacer made from an extra spring mount and it raised it a little but not enough to compensate. The pass rear side was raised by this 'modification' too which started to get me thinking the ARB was bent.....does that even happen. I'm gonna inspect the drop links and bushes when I have a moment.

I say it all the time and I'll say it again, you'll be amazed at how different in a good way your car will handle with the new sways. Damn, I'm excited for you...is that weird??
