Default Lowered suspension issue, help needed please

Hello guys and gals as some of you know I bought a s/h gmax suspension kit (springs and shocks) for my coupe designed to lower it by 60mm.
Its fitted but there is a slight problem. The o/s front sits way lower than the n/s front. The tyre is catching the arch, (its on 18's with 215/40's and H&R 25mm spacers). The n/s is fine as is the rear setup just a problem with this corner.
While doing the suspensiion I replaced both top mounts and the arb link bar bought from ECP on the o/s only.
Does anyone have any idea where I should start looking to solve this issue please? The car cant be driven the way it is.

Nathan

Sounds like one of the shocks is buggered.
Running 215's on a coupe without the flared arches is always gonna be risky as well

60mm drop with 18" wheels is always going to be troublesome! Have you checked to see whether both springs are seated properly?

The car sat perfectly on the standard suspension thats the thing.
Btw its a '94 coupe not one of the earler models.
Its been running the 18's without problems for the past few weeks so I'm sure its something to do with the suspension I've just put on.
