Default CSL sits lower on drivers side

Only noticed it tonight when putting cesil in garage, but looking at the car from the back it sits lower on the drivers side. The gap between rear wheel and arch is bigger on the passenger side. Is this normal?

Have you checked the rear springs that one or more isn't broken? CSL's just love eating springs even if they don't move

no not checked that mate. I don't think it used to be like it, but have recently had the rear subframe replaced (BMW). I must get it sorted though - it's playing havoc with my OCD

Jack it up and pull the rear wheels off, very common so best to check.

Though if you think this is new from having the subframe done that might point to something else I guess ???
