Is there something wrong with my coilys? (pics)

[Jamie _Swales]

They have started clanging and banging when i go over bumps with the rear.
Had a look at the spring and the left looks different to the right

Is this normal?

Left

Right

Maybe its tooo low

Please help

Anyone mechanical near leeds who can take a look?

Maybe a spring is on upside down?

looks like something has collapsed at the top of the spring

that looks fine to me m8, tbh i cant see much diff at all in those pictures. the exhaust might be making the right one look more compact, and the left more open.

My car is just on Apex Jamie but is definately lower on the left rear than the right.
I'm going to swap the springs this week to see if that makes a difference.
Are they standard springs or do they come with the GAZ'?

mine is too, swapped the springs round, with both gaz and H&R (fully wound down lol) and the passenger side always sits a few mm lower :S

I thought it may be related to the shape/size/position of the fuel tank and weight distribution but Fred thinks not. I'm still not sure.
