Disco 2 Why is driver’s side LOWER than passenger?

Hub center to wheel arch with factory coils and shocks:
- Front driver: 484mm
- Front passenger: 493mm

After installing Dobinsons springs and standard Terrafirma shocks:
- Front driver: 515mm
- Front passenger: 526mm

The driver’s side coil is longer… why does that side sit lower?

D2a V8 Australian (right hand drive), no bullbar or accessories

Did you measure and fit the springs yourself and you are 100% sure they were not mixed up?

I also have that issue?
Have checked, thought I had put the spring on incorrect! They were colour coded to Nearside and Offside but were installed correctly!

Then checked the shocks! Again installed correctly!

It is just noticeable with no kit in the back!

It appears the D2 V8 front suspension springs are not ‘handed’… if correct its the same as the D1 V8 and the early petrol engine RRs.
