If the car is leaning (sway bar centered and springs in the stops)... It could be springs, it could be a bent frame, or you could have a body mount issue. I'd start by taking measurements in the same points from both sides. I'd also look for spacer blocks in the springs... when springs get weak people will buy those spacer blocks to stiffen them up... if someone did this and one fell out that might account for you lean as well.

- a bent frame
- a heavy driver
- bad springs
...
I have tried several things among which :
- measuring the frame with no result
- changing springs with no results
- different suspension setting
- different stabiliser bar
- different end links
None of them resulted in solving the problem.
Most of these vettes have a corner that sags and the opposite corner on the rise.
What I did notice was that moving to a front gymkhana bar caused the leaning to be more severe.
Doesn't that ring a bell ?

So, if I'm interpreting some of what is written here correctly, the front sway bar can be isolated as a cause of a lean by removing it and seeing how the car's stance reacts?
