Sully, do you still have one corner lower than the others?

Well, I'm now riding on brand new Abbott springs (and Koni dampers) and guess what? My rear right corner is still lower than the left! I thought I had it licked when I took the springs out and the right was a bit shorter.
One thing I did notice when I was installing the SuperFlex rear anti-roll bar bushes (biggest bang/buck I've had on this car - amazing!) was that, although the suspension was relaxed - I had the entire rear of the car jacked up - when I released one of the bushings, the bar moved away from the mounting. It didn't do this on the other mounting, though. I'm going to investigate a possible twisted anti-roll bar, probably by disconnecting it and driving a few miles to settle the suspension, then re-checking the ride height. Unless, of course, there is an obvious twist when I disconnect the bar.
Basically, what I'm saying is don't go to the expense of changing the springs without investigating other possibilities first. You might end up no better off (I'm better off because the Abbott kit has made quite a difference, but I still have to fix the original problem).
