Listing to port
So I just measured, and my '96 DI's body sits 2-1/4" lower on the port (passenger) side as measured from the tire to the edge of the wheel well in the rear. Front is only about 1" apart side to side. It looks like I'm smuggling a fat guy in my glove box when it is parked and empty. Aside from the obvious, ie sagging springs are there other things I should be looking at? Is this common? The fact that it is one side vs front or back has me a little concerned, and if possible for now I'd like to avoid a $1000 old man emu kit.
Any advice is appreciated.

Last time I checked Port was left and starboard was right. Is yours right-hand drive?
Another economical route is like I did, I put new OME heavy duty plus 2 inch on the rear of mine that I bought from a friend that had gone thru a few Disco's and he had a set left over that was purchased but never installed. At his advice, we moved my existing rears to the front of my Disco and it worked just fine.
Rovers North often has a set or individual springs on their "Specials" pages at good prices, usually discounted due to appearance items like a scratch, and they have the ES9000 Pro Comp plus 2 shocks for 200 bucks or so for all 4.
My total cost was less than 350 for springs and shocks.

You dont need to spend the $700 for the OME set.

I'm still on the fence about which kit to buy, though I am leaning (just like my Rover) towards the OME medium duty (happy medium between on and off road).
One question that comes to mind; if most of these kits provide between 1.5" and 2" of lift, are there any issues with drive line angle given the extra ride height?
