I am writing to get a reality check here...I replaced the springs and shocks in my 1991 745 last November and it seemed to really make a difference in what had been a sagging rear end...now, measuring the back bumper to the ground in my garage (very level), I get 20" to the top of the bumper on the driver's side and 20 3/8" on the passenger's side. Is this too big of a discrepancy or am I just being fussy? (My daughter tells me to stop fussing about stuff like this, maybe she is right.)

BTW I used Scantech (FCP Groton) heavy duty springs and OEM Volvo shocks.

Thanks for listening.
