😮😮 wow i never noticed that!!!
Stock guard measurement is 460 from wheelarch to rim centre. I will have a set of stock springs here you are welcome to soon.

Have a newly acquired 98 D1 V8 with 115,000km on it. Driving it felt a bit weird as I realised it's not sitting right. It's sitting uneven left to right - the drivers side is 20mm front / 15mm rear lower than the passenger side. The vehicle is stock standard except for a Smart Bar on the front (plastic bullbar).
Approximate hub to guard measurements:
Driver front - 420mm
Passenger front - 440mm
Driver rear - 465mm
Passenger rear - 480mm
According to Phil in < bump stop clearances or rim/hub to guard measurements >:
It seems that the vehicle has a bit of sage therefore all around but significantly worse on the drivers side.
Any ideas? Both drivers side springs sagged badly and to be removed and swapped out? Are the springs different left to right - i.e. could they have been installed in reverse?

Not uncommon for the d1 although 20mm is on the high end of things.
Your springs are past use by.
I have of spring spacers (from LRA I think) on the ds to even it up.
That's an idea too, ta.
White Tiger Spring Shim 6mm
I wonder if a 6mm spring translates to a 6mm increase or something else?
A 6mm shim just lifts the plate the spring sits on by 6mm
20 mm is too much to correct with shims imo
12 would be my maximum and that would require longer mounting bolts
Yes, the shim will space it 6mm, but then as that side rises, it also transfers some of the weight that was on the low side back over to the other higher side which means that the 6mm shim may have the effect of lifting that side more than 6mm or it may have the effect of lowering the high side which means that the height variation between each reduces.
From White Tiger Spring Shim 6mm :
Recommended a maximum of 3 shims per corner totalling 18mm
Also worth checking the body mounts. Have seen them cracked and sagging. Particularly the ones at the base of the firewall.
