Lean to the left

I've been changing various brake & suspension components as a result of a binding caliper and a broken coil. So far I've replaced the shocks all around (rears just done yesterday) and put in a second hand pair of coils (rather than just change the one and have an unmatched pair). The car now has a noticeable lean to the left. It doesn't seem to affect the handling (although the car seems a bit floatier than before). Any ideas what the problem may be?
PS The shocks that were on were completely wrecked, how it passed its last MOT I have no idea.
 
Porschapart. I specifically asked for a pair off of the same car and they looked like it (same general condition, length, dot colour etc.)
PS Did try to find new but don't think I could (plenty lowered ones) or it was silly money.
 
My car used to lean to the right. That was because I had an 87 turbo strut on one side and a 91 turbo strut on the other...not that I put them there!

I am sure that is not your problem but Porsche Exeter do a set of '87 springs for 114.60 inc vat for a pair - not that bad as all I could find were lowered ones by silly amounts - 30mm (which makes the rear too high). and I don't know how to lower a torsion bar..
