Hi all, My stag sits slightly lower on the driver side than the passenger side (when looking at it front on), I see this quite a bit in older cars of different makes. Does anybody know what to do to correct it? Is it as simple as new springs?

Hi Martin
Mine does this also, some of this is due to the battery and fuel tank being on the same side plus the driver always being on that side weakens the spring over the years.
I am rebuilding my front suspension due to this and other reason and will let you know if it cures it next week.
Just as a not the passenger side spring I took off was about 1" shorter than the new one due to age I think!

Where is the cheapest place to get a full set of Springs and shocks?

Yes they are, they were on the car when I brought it, I was not sure whether to keep them as I had a pre-set idea in my head that they had to be normal Stag Alloys, however I would not change them now, they look great and are different.

After the new shocks, I have noticed, because I looked, that the drivers side is down compared with the passenger side :shock:. I should have been suspicious when it was easier to get the bearing back-on compared with the nearside.
Why did I let Stuart talk me out of buying new springs!:?:?:?:?

Are the struts handed? If not, Perhaps you could swap the struts from left to right and see if it evens it up a bit.!
