Same story everywhere. Even on our car we found the right side coil spring having an extra turn welded to the coil spring, the left side had an oversized lower arm.
Since I was taking my time-off to oversee the suspension assembly, I could note what had been taken off our car. This was in 2005. Convincing the mech about going my way was a mommoth task. He says all these engineering principles works in showroom cars not cars that have sustained abuse over time, just told him, it does not work because he does not have a level floor anywhere within his garage. Few days later took Dad's vintage theodolite and bubble level to prove to him. He was like completely bonkers.
He did the change and the car was slanting to one side, and was pointing it to me, told him , that I will give him the feedback once the thing comes back home, where it showed perfectly level.
Speaking of it, I havn't found any single garage where you have qualified mechanics as well as level flooring in Kolkata.
