Did you buy the car new? If not did you do a carfax to see if it was ever in an accident? Frame could be bent if the car was in an accident before.

maybe you have the springs misplaces possibly one front spring in the front and a rear on the other front side and the rear might be the same situation a front spring in the rear and a rear spring on the other rear side think about it.

correct me if i am wrong, but i believe the front springs will never fit the rear, nor the rear ever fit the front. the front springs are about 5-6inchs wide and the rear are only 3-4 inches wide. front springs have less coils than the rear also. highly unlikely scenerio.

How did you take your measurments? You should measure the distance from the frame to the ground at the four side jacking points. This will indicate how "off" it may be. If you are measuring wheel gap that doesn't really indicate anything.

Some side to side variation is normal. Take some measurements, if it's really dramatic then something is up.
