How are you measuring that you're car is at different ride height? Have you drove it around for a couple miles to let the shocks sink in?

its a 20+ year old car things distort/move/settle over time could be any number of causes but only one solution decide on the height you want and adjust it accordingly at each wheel

Remember that adjusting one corner of car affects the opposite corner (ie LF + RR,etc...)
Also teh weight of driver once seated! Between each adj,ride around to "settle" teh suspension. (Pros recommend best way is on tiles under all 4 wheels-with salt sprinkled in between them to allow them to "slip" on each other-less "riding around settling" that way),meh I just adjust em as needed since I LOVE driving,lol...
