i've been furiously trying to solve my 2001 GT ride height issue for the last several weeks.

the back right of the car sits 1/2" higher than the other corners.

when the car is in the air, the back right tire hangs lower than the other 3. when the car is on jackstands, supported by the frame rails, the back right corner doesn't touch the stand. i replaced the rear eibach sportline springs without any change.

can you recommend a frame shop in south florida? i don't know what to do, but i've heard it's an expensive problem.

Thats hard to say. Does it have subframe connectors on it? If so perhaps they were welded on wrong leving the frame twisted. Check the door and fender/quarter panel gaps. See how the body lines line up too.

everything on the car seems to line up perfectly.

however, i have noticed that the doors do not open well when the car is lifted on jacks - i assume that goes for all cars.

i don't have subframe connectors. do you think i should get some welded in to straighten out things?

Replaced with what? If you're going to check if the springs are bad you have to put stock springs on and see where it sits with them on
