Spring swap ACROSS the car, left to right...

Thanks in part to my T/A being at least 20 years old, it definitely site lower on the left hand side compared to the right (a car ALWAYS has a driver in it when it's moving right? ).
Should I swap the springs over, left side to right side, or am I being too much of a tightwad? I haven't priced up new springs in the UK yet. If I did get some they'd probably be -1 or -2 inch below stock ride height..

Cheers,
Mark.

Just get new ones. Theyre definatly bad which means ride quality and handling are less than ideal. Do you need a better reason to upgrade the handling on your car?
