Front wheels lean in while in reverse

I need some help or ideas. This is my first post. I recently bought a 1996 Z28, it has a BMR suspension, appears to have lowering springs. While sitting idle, the front wheels lean in slightly at the top, but once it moves forward, they straighten up. However, when you go backwards, the right front leans in at the top so much, that about 2" on the outside edge is not even touching the ground, and the wheel points inward as well, so much that it slides instead of freely rolling....I don't know much about a BMR suspenison, and neither did the guy I bought the car from. Would a simple alignment solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated...Thanks.

I wouldn't drive it at all, sounds like something is broken on the front suspension!
Have it towed to a shop.

Pictures would help. With and without the front wheels on would be best.

I am sure we can figure out what's wrong if we can see it.
