Vehicle sags on one side with new suspension

I have lovells springs and Koni adjustables with nolathane bushes
It seems to be coming from the front drivers side 10-15 mm lower than the passenger side
Have tried swapping springs from one side to the other
have also tried removing shocks and sway bar
have also loosened all the bushes and tightened them at ride height.
the chassis is straight and all the control arms seem to be ok too
none of the above worked
anyone got any other ideas
oh yea and the tyres are both pumped up too ha ha.

If 1 tyre is a different size or there is a height difference between 2 tyres it will cause a sag.

I've heard of it, but don't know how you check if it is the case. Somebody else might be able to help in that regard.

Never seen anything like that before, was certainly a weird look.

The chasis is good as the car was a one owner with only a few minor dents.
It is lucky i have short hair or it would have been pulled out by now.
Am gonna drop it off at WA suspensions for them to sort out when i head back to work.
Delegation is the best answer, pass your problems onto someone else

If it comes back later in the week the same pedders will be doing the remaining work to figure it out.

Ive got the lovells lows and the kings lows and the arse end is high, I have found a replacement though that is even lower, will try it out tomorrow and let you know.All the wheels are the same LS1, BTW I have 17's and the same prob as you with the back so am gonna drop it off to a lovell dealer to sort it out. maybe get the back reset 20-30 mm lower than the lovells lowest.

its not that either mate I had. i had to twist the drivers side around about 30degrees to get the drivers side almost right.Spring not fully seated in the upper or lower? (Been there done that). The right side went boing when I took it for a drive as I still hadn't got it in right.
pain in the ass.
if the engine cross member still bolts up ok you wouldnt think it would make 15mm difference would you?

The prong things up inside the cross member that locate the spring were too far out for some reason so i bent them back in and all was good.
maybe lovell use a bigger wire diameter than standard which makes a smaller inside diameter.
Thanks all for your ideas.
