Got -60mm springs on the rear with standard shocks and I think personally it still sits too high for -60mm, Also one side is lower then the other? Any ideas why. Shocks fooked maybe? And also if I added uprated shocks would lower it?

They look about the same height to me. Not sure if it's 60mm though.

Mine sits the same as that on 60mm but it sat like that on 40mm too, and one side seems lower than the other.
