My 1997 Discover 1 when i started was lower on the passenger side which i found odd but maybe the previous owner had a huge wife, who knows. I needed new pads and rotors so I decided while i'm at it I would replace springs and shocks. I installed some proline heavy duty springs which were supposed to yield a 2 in lift. They did not, in fact height was the same. Rovers north said i already had heavy duty springs and their rating is relative to standard duty....whatever, I felt as though new springs wouldnt hurt anyway so I fabbed some 1.5 in alluminum coil spacers at work and installed those on the rear so far. The lift is nice however the drivers side is a good 1/2 in to 5/8 higher than the passenger side still. The springs were identical and the spacers were identical. Where am i losing this 1/2 inch at. It is haunting me. Is it a difference in spring because it was the same with old springs, or is it something far more sinister. I hate to do something like this and leave it uneven. I am mechanically inclined but no expert help?

 

When you buy OME springs I believe they are Driver/Passenger specific, one side is longer than the other...

 

I considered that too but they were only marked as front and rear and their free standing height was identical. The ones I took off were marked with green and brown paint which i was able to cross reference a s a stock spring at 230 ft pounds or whatever who knows

 

Try swaping the srpings from side to side becasue they are LH/RH specific, I dont know if the unladen height is the same but the laden height is different I dont know, but this has happened before where the wrong spring was put on the wrong side and the truck sat funny.
I know its a PIA but worth a shot.

 

There really is nothing else that will affect ride height other than springs and spacers.

 

Make one of your spacers diffrent than the other..

 

I was deathly afraid someone was going to say swap them. Maybe I will just lay beneath the car and kick a jackstand out and end it all but thanks anyway for the input.

 

Just think..

It will go twice as fast as when you did it the first time.
