    I got under and measured the distance between the chassis rails from front to rear both sides and they're consistently spaced so don't think there's an issue there. Visually all the body mounts look fine.

    Purchased six of the Les Richmond Automotive White Tiger Spring Shim 6mm and fitted two of them to the rear drivers side (12mm spacing) and three to the front (18mm spacing), along with refitting the original coil springs < Standard coil spring - different variants of or wrong springs? >. Had to replace the factory bolts with ones 5mm longer to fit them (combined with the thread excess that already existed). Vehicle is now almost perfectly level to within 2mm or so - looks even at the rear and about 2mm lower on the front drivers side - I can't space the front drivers side any more as 3 shims (18mm spacing) is the most that LRA recommend. I am curious, but timewise I cannot be bothered to throw the third shim in on the rear drivers side to see what effect it has on the front from the weight transfer.
