firebird sits uneven in the rear HELP

Well i know there are some threads about that some thirdgens are lower or higher at one side but i didn't find a solution yet
my firebird is in the rear right about an inch too high ,however at the front they are the same
i pull out the springs in the front and the back (they have the correct length and are not broken ) replaces the A arm bushings, balljoints ,struts and shocks but still sits uneven
the correct spring isolators are still in place and the springs are installed correctly
i dont think that my car is twisted like some in the forum say at other cars that have this
can this cause a bad sway or track bar ?
i´m glad for any help


the left site seems to be alright

right side only in the rear is way to high

Swap the rear springs and see if the problem changes sides. This might tell you if one the spring has a different compressed height than the other. Springs don't lose spring rate but they do take a set and change compressed height over time.
