Your lean issue is pretty common with these things (hence my adding adjustable rear suspension). If you lower the right rear, the left front will come up - it is a bit of a dance.
Is it uncouth to ask how much those rims set you back? I might be tempted. The late-model Camaro alloys are not my final solution. If I could repop the 14" 5-spoke gray and silver rallys in 18+ inches...

To be honest they weren't that bad. Since i did 18/20 and had them powdercoated white and added the dog dish centers and had them install the clips for them they where $1400 shipped to my door.

Given the amount of custom work plus accessories, that sounds about right. I have two sets of vintage 50's GM 17" 8-lug split rims. Now that 17" truck tires are standard, I was thinking about finding a wheel company to cut off the split hoops and weld the centers into modern ones. Times 10. Gonna have to start saving up for that project.
The plan is to paint them body color later this year. But when i ordered them they only option was black or white. So i did the white for now. So far i really like the white. but i think it would look better body color for sure. That will happen soon as soon as im done with the interior. And it looked lower in the first pic not lowered but had a full tank of gas and 4 wheels and tires in the rear, when i took them out it looked way to high. But weird enough the driver side sits lower than the passanger side. And i have no idea why. Almost 3/4 lower on the driver side. I would assume its for 40 years of someone always sitting on the driver side. The front is the stock springs just cut from what i can tell.
Love the clean look of the wagon, my only suggestion is ditching the outside Granny mirror. As far as the out of level issue, make sure its on level ground. I thought my Cutlass was all out of whack sitting in the garage, but its ok out in the driveway. I have a drain in the center of the garage, and I figure it was following the slope of the floor. How about this mirror?
