Uneven Tire To Quarter Gap

has anyone else had a issue with the rear of their 93-02 camaro not having = space between the tire and quarter panel? i replaced the shocks and springs (new) and the drivers side has about 1 inch more gap between tire and quarter i then switched the shocks and springs around just to have the same issue. this is also the reason i replaced them in the first place. anyone know a good spring ratio softer on drivers side and firmer on passangers side to correct this? quick note i took it to local body/frame shop to have the frame checked and they said it was dead on and didnt apear to have ever been wrecked they also said some cars just are uneven like this any imformation would be helpfull.

Check the front heights as well. I low spring in the front can pop the opposite rear side up higher.

the front is correct 2 fingers on both sides.i think it might be a little lower than it should be in the front because the springs/struts/spindles and brakes came off a 02 ls1 car mine has the lt1 and is a convertable however the gap is even in the front and looks good.i have giving this some thought and think maybe i will strap the rear diff. to the inner quarter with a 1 inch wide nylon strap. i put a koni suspension on a 89 gta i had back in 92-93 and straps were part of the kit.it allowed it to colapse but limited the lift it also kept the springs from falling out on the koni kit.thanks for the imfo on the front i did figure out if i lifted the front passanger side it lowered the rear drivers side but then i had the uneven gap in the front.i was also thinking about buying some springs out of a dirt race car magazine but just didnt know what combination would do the trick.
