Possibly an explanation as to your uneven level: the r/h front shock/spring in your picture has the wrong colour code for a UK Turbo spring. Should be yellow, yellow, green. No red in the code.

That spring appears to be shorter (maybe stiffer) as it doesn't expand the shock as far as the other spring. That is just looking at your picture. Can't see if the top plate is installed, but the spring looks to be wound differently anyway.

The spring on the right appears to be a FED spring as they all appear have an extra red splash on the other side of the 3 colour code. It is probably a blue/yellow orange on that spring?...

Just got my Son to check the Spring, both are the same, Green & Yellow down the entire spring(s) and both with one splash of red, Both measure the same length. Tbh when the car was in for the Nitrons fitting, they checked the ride height out and it was bang on as per manual.
I would have been really surprised if somthing had have been altered from new knowing how the one & only owner was with the Elan
Ill try and get a picture of the springs if i get the chance Today........
