Ride Height adjustment
Was measuring the distance from the ground to the highest point of the fenderwell and noticed a 1/2 inch or so discrepancy between the drivers side and passenger side both front and rear. Is there any adjustment for this or is my suspension just sagging and need spring replacement?
Thx ESU.

The fix is to convert your car to right hand drive and leave it that way for 30 years so the springs equalize. 
The rear is not to hard to adjust upward and that will have some affect on the front. On my car the drivers side was low by an inch. I jacked up the rear spring using a wood block to "grip" the spring and a C clamp to act as a stop to keep the wood from sliding. After taking the left hand spring bolt apart I placed a 1 inch spacer (really a large nut that I had laying around) between the spring and the nut. This jacked the car up by about the amount of the spacer. It worked as a temperary fix for over a year while I decided what rear spring I wanted to buy.
Sorry, but for the front you're on your own.
