Passenger side rear sagging

Passenger side rear sagging
I've attached some pictures with my post. The rear of my 72 cutlass convertible is sagging on the passenger side. I've replaced the coil springs and the shocks over the weekend and it helped but still has a noticeable sag.
The first picture is of the passenger side spring perch,The second is the drivers side and the third is the way the car sits.
Why are the coil spring perches different? Could this be causing my sagging?

I don't believe the perches are your problem, unless they are way off centerline where they are welded to the tube.
Most likely your body mounts are squashed down into the frame holes, or your upper spring pockets have stretched over time.
Mine does the same thing. Lopsided as all hell.
I looked everywhere for frame cracks, and found none, so I just stuck an airbag in one side.

I have the same problem on my 67 GTO, I tried everything changed coil springs a couple times,checked front coils,checked body mounts, had friends look at it thinking I'm missing something?? I went with air shocks with seperate lines to get it to sit even. Worked for awhile, but air shocks are a pain in the a-- They never hold air very long, always adding air!! so I went and got the coil spring speaders that insert into spings, they also can compress the coil sping. You can get them at local auto part stores. I compressed high side a little, Then I lifted low side to even car out. Work out perfect cars been sitting even for the last8 years !! LOL Hope this helps you, Good luck!!
