I have a lopsided chevette. Seems common. I'm taking 2 finger arch gap to 4 fingers (very accurate I know)
How can I fix this ? Cut the spring on one side ?

front springs got old and saggy quickly on these, someone probably just replaced one side

New fronts about 4 months ago. new rears 12 months ago. Rear shocks 6 months back. The fuel tank battery and loads more is on the drivers side so it's said to be a common thing.
Thing I should swop the sides to see if that alters anything ?

for the time it would take i would go with swapping the springs side to side and see what that does. can you get uprated ones or new ones easily? cheaply?

I'm looking to lower further so will need new springs anyways. Don't want it to be wonky when it's really low. I'll swop and see what happens

Well SYBil has had a sag on the drivers side since I bought it. Selaced the springs and still has a slight sag on drivers side even with uprated shocks.
My previous one RYA 965R did as well and we had changed all the springs and shocks on it for uprated ones.
Regards
Mark
