Default F-TYPE SVR not sitting flat!

Hello All,

I have a very curious thing going on: my F-Type SVR isn’t flat! I was mounting new wheels and noticed a sizable wheel gap, and decided to check the other side with the OEM wheel to see if I’m crazy or if it’s the same. Well it wasn’t the same, so I put back on the OE rims on both sides of the car and.... it still wasn’t the same? Nothing heavy is In the car, and me sitting in the car makes no difference as the height delta is enormous I’ve attached photos as a quick visual way of demonstrating the difference in wheel gap.
The measurements are:
Drivers side rear: 6.4cm
Passenger rear: 4.6cm

Any idea what would be causing this?

What are the measurements from the front? An issue with the front diagonal side can cause an uneven ride height.

How long did you leave it before measuring it, did you drive it around and the measure again ? They always look high after you jack them up until the settle even more so when you jack one side at a time.

First question...sorry I’ve got to ask... is anything stuck under one side of the car.. did you leave anything under there after the wheel install ?
Anything left or got stuck in the suspension coil spring of the “high side” ?
Other than that I have no clue as to why this is happening. Have never seen this ...

This!
Take it for a decent spin then remeasure.

If that doesn’t resolve it, perhaps one of the rubber spring seats is not positioned properly.
