I bought a s/h gmax suspension kit (springs and shocks) for my B4 Audi coupe designed to lower it by 60mm.
Its fitted but there is a slight problem. The o/s front sits way lower than the n/s front. The tyre is catching the arch, (its on 18's with 215/40's and H&R 25mm spacers). The n/s is fine as is the rear setup, just a problem with this one corner.
While doing the suspension I replaced both top mounts and the arb link bar bought from ECP on the o/s only.
Does anyone have any idea where I should start looking to solve this issue please? I cant drive the car on the way it is.

Are the springs seated correctly? Are the springs definitely the same? Is either spring damaged/rusty/cracked?

I can't think of anything else unless you've been sold duff/mismatched top mounts.

Silly question but you've definitely reassembled the strut in the correct order?

If you removed the wishbone bolts did you re-tighten them with the car car settled on the ground, or with it off the ground?
