I put a 1" lowering block on my right side and the car only moved 3/8 " does that mean the rear suspension is bound up somewhere? i was thinking that a 1" block would move the car 1"

No, doesn't mean it's bound up. The spring is going to deflect(arch will change) when changing block heights.
so whats a better fix? taller lowering block? or raising the front of the spring up? its a stock camaro, but if getting creative with my stock location is the best way to go then so be it.
what are you trying to do? set ride , weight bias, clearance?
the car has an 8" rr ride heaight, i was trying to get it to 7 or a little under.
y would u want it that low..
i would try using adjustable shackles raise the rear eye lowers car,that way if it is too low you can go back up.
right now it has a slider on the RR and its all the way against the frame. @ taslowroller what would you suggest for ride heights?
On my leaf car I ran 8 1/2 - 9 on RR
i got 91/2 rr 8 lr w/sliders hope this helps
i have 6 3/4 on rr with 2in blocks
so should i leave the RR and raise up the rest of the car? what are some suggested heights?
Rear ride heights should be set in relation to the front. Get the correct geometry on the RF lower control arm/ball joint, then put about an inch of rake in the car, rear being higher. Or this is how I do it anyhow....:)
Setting on the scales, 2.5" tall pads, my RR is around 9" w/a tire that rolls out 87".
Is everyone running the same size tire that posted their ride heights? Doubt it!
Level ur tie rods and set rear inch higher.
