Changed the rear donuts today because I thought the old ones might be a bit squashed... The LS now sits about 4" higher...

That far left one has done a lot of time in the front of a Mini, I reckon.
They don't get that flat ever, just in the rear... :lol:

Quite a good possibility of that Doc. I would say that the fronts might have been put in new awhile ago as the front was sitting higher than the rear and then the old fronts put in the back for some unknown reason???
