Timmo wrote:What causes springs to droop/uneven ride height?

I have mazda speed springs on Bilstein shocks. At the back, the ride height is uneven - I can fit about three fingers between the top of the tyre and the guard on the left side, whereas I can fit two fingers on the right side (when I'm not in the car obviously)- I've also just failed my warrant on ride height.
On mine the rubber upper and lower spring seats had perished to almost nothing which I imagine could account for a fingers difference if it's happened on one side only. Numbers 7 and 13 on here:

How much did it fail by/how low was it?

Thank you :)
Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.
