Default Ride Height

My 69 Camaro X66 Convertible sat lower on the passenger side when I bought the car and the springs were obviously worn out. So I bought the original style springs from D&R Classics that I was told are the same ones that Bob Harris sells. They look like the OEM springs and I was happy with there appearance once installed. The problem is my car still sits lower on the passenger side. Basically looks the same as before. The car was hit on the right front fender sometime in its life since there is a non assembly line inner fender installed along with a upper control arm cross shaft or dog bone. Not sure the correct terminology. The passenger side measurement below the quarter lip is 23"9/16 and the driver side is 24"5/16. So it's 3/4" difference which is substantial. The front passenger side is lower than the driver side as well by about 1/2" as I recall. I have not changed the rear shocks yet. They don't look that old but I don't think the shocks would cause this would they?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Lawrence
