car sits 50mm less on drivers side than passenger side, 04 do you think new springs will sort it out? and how about any recommendations on springs!

Not according to RAVE, springs are listed in there,

Surprised that you have equal height at back and a 50mm tilt at the front, was it always like that?

Cheers

ive equaled the rear up tonight, as rear pass side was down, but front drivers side is down, odd! it's the 1st one ive ever had on air, had it 6yr now, but it wanders over the road now and again, tramlining!! ive tried alsorts to stop it, shocks,tyres, pressures, linkage bushes, watts, everything, so tonight i plugged it in, been a while and no faults at all on owt, so had a mess and levelled it up on the rear, now front is down on drivers side, have sort of noticed, so gonna get 2 new springs and do it
 
I would take it for a drive on a nice flat carpark, do a bit of a slalom, let it all reset and then measure again,

Approx 473mm on the back and 500mm on the front.

but would you not think the fronts have got a bit tired too? the 473mm sounds about right, my drive is level just that i am gonna put new shocks alround, as the super gaz squeak like fook, it has done my head in, the shaft inside, ive taken em off and lubed em once, cured it for a month or so, but doing it again, on all 4! so going back to hydrolic, so whilst ive it in bits new springs i think, you reco any!
 
They are indeed handed.
There’s a chance the spring could have become coil bound if it’s leant for a while

See post #11, never needed to fit std springs on the D2.

Cheers
 
I used Britpart on the front of my D2, and ever since I've regretted it as they're too harsh and jumpy. I'm going to replace them with OEM's when I get some spare cash.
 
Have to love RAVE at times. Depending on the age of the vehicle.03 MY onwards the springs changed,
