Hello Folks, can anyone shed some light on this?

recently lowered the daily VX Calais S2 and can barely get a finger between the tyre and bar/guard on the p/side yet the drivers side I can almost fit my whole hand. Had it up in the air and hasnt been wacked and everything looks as it should. A mate of mine also lowered his VZ Senator and exact same thing. I used Pedders and he used Kings its got me &= and no one can give me a straight answer. The Pedders guy spoke some c r a p and just left me more confused than anything.

It was been wheel aligned and balance and camber adjusted. Anyone got any ideas or reasons for this. Cant remember how is was before which just confuses things that bit more.
Thanks in advance guys/gals

1. Are you sure you're on level ground when you've measured?
2. Sometimes the driver's side is a little higher cos you're gonna load it with the weight of the driver.

Thanks for that buddy, my other LS1 doesnt seem to have this issue and appears to sit even and has approx the same amount of clearance from tyre to bar/guard. The links you provided have given me some reason to investigate further, so thanks again
