My 30 coupe sits about 2 inches lower at the left rear corner. I do not see anything wrong with the spring or shackles.
I have not yet taken off the wheel to get access to the shock absorber to check it, but I hope to this coming weekend. What else should I be looking at?
Thanks,
Burt

Yep mine does that too - usually the drivers side - too many burgers me thinks !

Is the starboard side also 2" higher, or is it in line with the front? Your rear spring might have shifted, or you could have a broken shackle.

Maybe you should have said "listing to portly". LOL. That's what happens to lots of us as we get older.

Friend, Walt, had a sudden "mysterious" L/R lean. The L/R shock completely SEIZED. Try bouncing each corner. Bill W.
