Okay. So had new cones, hilos, knuckles, and dampers on rear. both hi los adjusted within a mm of each other yet one side still looks like its sitting lower than the other at the back. I haven't done the front yet that's next weekend but the front had new cones about 3 mths ago. Is it possible one of the new front cones is collapsing? They're genuine from minispares...

It probably just needs balancing.
I'm pretty sure with mine, both sides weren't set to the same amount.
And it was the same when we put adjustable shocks on the TVR, they all needed tweaking.
Let it bed in for a while, and it might even up on it's own, then tweak them all again.
Could be the fronts, but could just be tolerances on everything.

5:1 at the rear, and 3:1 at the front, if I remember correctly.
Edit: Simultaneous posts and we seem to agree.

Sorry to hi jack this thread, I need to adjust my hi-lo's at the front it's easy to get a spanner on the collar but at the rear I couldn't see how to get a spanner on it. Any suggestions or was I just being a noob when I was trying.
