    Default VT Berlina Wagon: baggy springs????

    Hi,
    Just noticed my car on a level concrete pad leaning slightly to one side (driver side).
    Checked tyre pressures all tyres, driver front slightly low so put in pressure same as other side.
    Slight improvement though still 5-10mm difference.

    Is this maybe related to baggy springs?
    Cheers for any ideas!

    Yes it's related to the springs because most of the weight is always on the drivers side. Ie driver
    Just replace the springs & shockers on the rear.

    Is this common?
    Have had a couple of cars over the years but no sagging springs.

    You can notice it, so I'm trying to figure out what to do.
    What is the experience with replacement springs, (standard height).
    Go OEM or after-market? I understand KING springs do replacement springs.
    Any good?

    Cheers!
