i just noticed the other day that the passeger side rear of my car sits a little lower that the driver side, hmmmm.... dont know if the chassis is twisting or if the stock 21 year old springs are a little droopy.... any ideas?

Well I can say with a fair amount of certainty that the factory springs are droopy.

I don't know why the right rear would sag more than the left though. The spare tire can't be that heavy...

i'm thinking about replacing my springs also, but i was wondering who sells springs for our cars and what are the options as far as lowering, stock heights and different stiffnesses?

I just bought a pair of eibach pro-kit springs(they lower 1" all around) and KYB GR-2 struts....my bro had them on his saturn and i liked it so thought i would do the same w/ the 92 z-28....eibach has springs that go lower but i dont even know if ill get in and out of my drive way w/ it an 1" lower. Hopefully i can.

spohn sells lowering springs and stock height Iroc style springs, which are the one i bought. i dont want the lowered look and besides these cars have problems scraping on things anyway, why encourage more damage to the nose... and also i have a hard enough time jacking the car up now at stock height, cant imagine lowering it...
