Front end sits high

I have recently changed all the shocks and springs on my car as they were pretty much shot.

The front end seems really high, I bought the front springs from Heritage part no: 177-411-105G, did I order the wrong ones???

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Sometimes shocks can take a little while to settle.
Are they matching springs and shock all round?
Anything heavy in the boot?
Any more even with the hood up?

Its been on the springs for 2 months now.

No not matching springs, Monroe on the back.

I've taken all the spares out of the boot and it did lift the rear a small amount but the fronts are the same

Measured the gap between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch and its 70mm  

Are you sure you got the correct rear springs? Becasue of the hood I believe the springs are stiffer than the hatch vers and also the top spring cup is deeper to give another cm or 2

I bought these rear springs.

It says they are compatible

Does anyone know the part number for the rear springs??

Look like generic one-size-fits-all so prob would have been best sticking with originals and just replaceing the dampers

When measuring the height of the wheels to the arches make sure your top is up and fully latched on the windshield.

With the top down you are adding about 150 pound or more to the rear of the car off center of the axis, and the car will come up a bit on the front.
