Any Spiders out there with 15 inch tires and these types of springs. The passenger side on my 83 is one inch lower than the other wheels think i need new springs. Front end is tight and Koni yellows all around

Okay, Lots of talk on springs. Found an old post by Mark Allison. He said if it is one corner probably a coil spring. So decided on springs from AR, My only hesitation now is lowering the ride too much.

I have progressive springs from AR with Koni yellows. 15" wheels from Mark with 205/55 Hankooks: love it all.
from what I understand the ~1" lower ride height just brings them to the original euro spec.
My concern is your 1" lower height on 1 side. figure that out first.

Steering is good, tracks fine, no vibrations at the wheel, Body lines are good door and hood are inline and shut perfectly.

Re: progressive non progressive
New information, I pulled the car out and took some more measures. I find the passenger rear is one inch higher than the drivers side rear, the passenger side is one inch lower than the front drivers side. Does this shed any light on my bane?
