Default Will this cure Lexus Lean??

OK, just like most of "lowering spring" guys in here, uneven gap is driving me insane.

My front right is about 1/3 inch higher than the front left .

On the rear, although the right side is also higher but the different isn't as visually disturbing.

Since the left side is lower, it must be because of more weight it is subjected to. Therefore, my front left spring should now be shorter than the front right .

My game plan is, if I swap the side of the front springs, will I get better balance between FL and FR?

Has anyone ever tried this trick?

Waste of time to swap. You'll still get the same issue. Coilover is the only way to balance them out.
