That cant be more than 1/4" of change in rear ride height...
I installed some toe links coupled with eccentric lockout to try to eliminate possible slippage and toe change with the stock setup.

Here's the alignment specs with stock muffler replaced with a track pipe, all the stuff in the trunk removed and about 1/4 tank of gas.


Here's the alignment after I replaced the stuff in the trunk, factory muffler and filled up to about 3/4 tank of gas. (disregard the front alignment, I believe the front adjusters were not torqued down sufficiently causing it to shift)


A total of 0.26 degrees of difference between the rear toe with the weight added back on. According to this calculator/converter that's more than 3/16" of change in toe with only a quesstimated 50~60lbs difference in the rear. http://robrobinette.com/ConvertToeDegreesToInches.htm

That's is a lot of bumpsteer, no? Something wrong with this picture?? @Shankenstein @Wepeel
