Default suspension trouble

Just fitted a brand new G max suspension kit and the front n/s corner is far too low, the mud flap touches the floor. The other side looks perfect. Just wondering if it could be the anti roll bar thats bent, does any one have any ideas. I have looked at both the struts and they are identical.

Default gmax suspension

if i remember correctly when fitting the kit you have to trim the bump stops, is this correct??? maybe you have cut one more than the other.

well maybe they dont have em then, as i remember if you get say a 25mm lowering kit there should be a bump stop which you have to cut 25mm off on each strut however i have fitted the gmax kit to a couple of different cars now so maybe that was for another car. Check the instructions that came in the box there should be a slip in there, i think its yellow. That will tell you if you need to trim the bump stops or not. Your best bet is to read the instructions and see if anything was missed. Best of luck pal. Also everything you need to fit should be in the kit so you wouldnt need to take anything of the old ones and put on the new ones.
