My 87 coupe is sagging on the driver side rear about an 1". The car never sagged before I did my 5 lug disk break conversion, I put new springs shocks and rubber spring inserts. Don't know what's wrong. Lower control arms bushing are good, uppers have minor cracks but not o bad. Does anyone know what could be wrong ?

maybe u installed old drag springs they made one side stiffer to reduce body roll on launch

Is it on the coupe I saw the other day? If so you have the weight jacker lower control arms that adjust height.
Not adjusted properly?
