Default Car sits uneven...

So I recently lowered my vette but it has always sat uneven, especially in the rear. Is there someway to fix this? I just bought new spring bushings for the rear, also the coil springs in the front are the same and both sit directly in their pockets. I thought maybe tightening the nut on one side of the leaf spring might fix it. Should I tighten the side I want to sit higher or is it no use to even bother?

Assuming that the spring cushion bolts on either side of your rear spring are identical and the nuts are showing the same number of threads the car should sit level. If that is the case you should look at things like the body mounts and their attaching brackets, possibly an incorrectly mounted rear spring, or (God forbid) bent/twisted frame...good luck!

Well the rear spring is the original, so its probably not mounted wrong. It will be replaced eventually. I'm not sure what it could be.
