Are the factory Koni shocks able to adjust on SportsPack cars? The left side of my car is sitting 2.5cm lower than the right side. This could be due to unequal weight. I have a custom air con system on the car and it is left hand drive. There is a lot of extra weight on the left hand side of the car.

Yes, but the adjustment is to compensate for wear. Drawing the natural assumption for the next step, adjusting the shock would not raise the left side. Unless the shock has air springing in it, no shock will compensate for height. Your springs (cones) are what determine the ride height, not the shocks.
If the cone is not collapsed, hi-lo's probably would be the best bet to adjust the height. Even if you put on a new cone, it will settle down eventually.

Can somone link me up (on minispares) to the cones or what ever I need to replace?
