So the VX was riding all fine and well front and rear, left to right. However, it's now sitting lower on the front right than the front left and lower rear right versus rear left?! Is there anything that this could be other than springs sagging? Anti roll something or other? I've increased the front left spring preload, but on first glance it's not helped. Will do a more thorough investigation tomorrow, but does anyone have any bright ideas?

The road or flags or whatever the car is on is not level.

Counting threads is a fallacy.
Spring manufacturing is done to crap tollerences. Measure chassis to floor. Job done.

What size are the wheels, it might just be the photos, or my eyes but the nearside rear looks smaller than the front?
