Sounds like this is a common TR6 problem. Mine might be due to
the DPO hitting a curb in the RF and perhaps bending the frame, I suppose.
I replaced the springs in my '6 for similar reasons (and the rear
driver's side had one coil broken off). I still have a lean to the driver's
side, mostly in the rear. (I also ended up with a funny setup with British
Parts NW "uprated" springs: front higher than the rear (much)). I'm
considering going back to stock springs with (already installed) Spax
in the front and uprated rear shocks, and maybe upgrade the sway bars.
