Fitted a set of Nitron's at the weekend, strange thing is with both rear spring platforms set at the same height the car sits 3/4" lower on the nearside.
It was completely level with the original Bilsteins so why should it be different now?
If I increase the ride height to compensate won't the uneven pre-load effect the handling?
Anyone had any experience of this?

first thing to do would be to check that you got the right damper at the right end of the car, they're different lengths.

next thing to do would be to check the correct springs were fitted to the correct dampers .. they're marked with the length and rate on each one.

If all that checked out ok the next thing to do would be to phone your supplier and ask them about it.
