   How much difference. The front may a little till it settles fully. The rear is just from not doing it accurately

   How much lower is it?
   
   Is it marginal or ridiculously lower?
   
   If its the latter then itll be incorrect fitment or measuring most likely to blame
   
   Any strange knocks, or bangs etc or is it driving fine?

   Torsion bar been set correctly? dampers failed? cant really say much more than that without looking at it. Best bet garage job.

    The back will just be done incorrectly. A garage done it or yourself?
    
    The front may be like it due to the back being wrong.

    I've got this on my VTR, the R.R is 7mm lower than the L.R. I'm putting it down to my driveway being uneven and over the years of the R.R being compressed a bit it's deforned the bar slightly.
    
    Yours being both front and back though probably shows the R.R is much lower than the L.R, so the lean on the rear is also pulling the front out too.
