One high corner! Please help!
I recently lowered my 300E with Eibach springs, and changed to 1 bump pads all around. It has settled in to the springs now, and 3 corners are sitting perfectly, but the drivers front is about an inch higher. Ive checked to make sure the bump pad is correct, and the shop that put the springs in assures me that no control arms or anything was bent. I've only had the car for a few months, and it seemed that the drivers corner sat high even before the spring change, but with the fenders closer to the tires now it is very visible. Driving at all speeds produces zero vibration.
I'd hate to have to pull the spring and cut some coil off, and end up screwing with the progressive spring rate, but I can seem to find any way off adjusting the stance.
Buying different front springs with more drop, then switching the passenger side to a 3 bump is not an attractive option either.
Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this mystery?

Ive heard of people running on no pads, but the idea seems wacky to me. Dont you get squeaking? If not that, then Im thinking the metal on metal contact is going to lead to bare metal, then rust, then me cursing the spring demons, although driving a level car is pretty appealling.
