Eibach progressive springs
Hi, I am just about to fit Eibach progressive springs to my 90 C2 Coupe and have noticed that the car seems to be sitting about 20 mm lower on the right rear, does this mean a weak rear spring, shock, or both? how can test your rear shocks? Ta.

I am eager to see the response to this one.....my car has EXACTLY the same issue and yet I was told by the local OPC that the shocks were fine.
I was going to wait until service time and ask the specialist to have a look...seems weird that we both have same slight drop on one side.

The shock doesn't hold up the car, the springs do. If one side/end is sagging, look to the spring and/or it's mount. A sagging side/end would also suggest your corner balancing would be off, which would affect your handling at speed (especially on the track). While you may not notice any handling irregularities now, typically after a corner balancing you notice improved handling, as the chassis would now be balanced on each wheel.
