    I have a similar problem, as do most LBC's I've seen. I usually jump on
the passenger door sill a few times, or take my brother to lunch :). This
seems to help it for a week or two. I replaced all my springs about 2 years
ago, so that may not really help.
    A Triumph guru friend of mine has said that all US LBC's do this due to
the driver being on the wrong side of the car. I'm not sure of this, but
can't come up with anything that would prove him wrong....
