Dernit! that's where I was headed with my question about a pic....

If it's not that then the only thing I can think of is the spring seat is not properly set on the spring. Try switching springs between sides to see if it follows the spring or remains on the same side. If it follows the spring then you know it's a part defect. If not then it's an install issue.

This is a common complaint, I think I even may have seen a TSB in the past?

Is it because of the Shaker 1000 in the trunk?

It's not the springs because this happens with two sets of springs that I've tried and the spring seats look normal on both sides.

Today it didn't seem as bad when I was parked on level ground in a parking lot. It's barely noticeable to the naked eye but a tape measure can tell.

I am having the same problem with the rear leaning more to the passenger side. I just lowered it, I put the Eibach Sportline Springs. I've even switched the springs from left to right, and right to left, with no change. I noticed that a Panhard bar was mentioned, I just have stock ones, could this help with adjusting how the rear sat?

You're not mentioning the fat chicks you took out last week... Springs are gone.
