Default Lowering Bolts

Put in longer bolts to bring my rear down a little. Got it where I want it, [27 1/2" from ground to lip of rear wheelwell]. On passenger side I have a 1/4" of bolt left after locking nut, drivers side I have 1 3/4". Is it normal for their to be that much difference side to side?

You can't trust body panels for level area. There are factory measuring points but they escape me right now Good luck

Lowing the rear using the bolts can "soften" and add bouncey-ness
Since your already uneven, hell of a time to replace that spring with the one in my other post, Im pretty sure thats the most stout spring ever for a vette, and i buy it in a flash if I still had a corvette. BMH Rate
