Pig of a job but glad it's done!

All done!

 

Each to their own but not for me ,the space from the top of the tyre to the wheel arch on the front looks massive. The rear looks lower than the front to me, is that how the original suspension was ?

 

No your right mate the front is higher in that picture as the fronts hadn't settled down as just fitted them. Did the rears a few days before.

 

Looks more like standard 1.8 lx than cossie to me, I'd drop it a touch but if you happy that's all that counts

 

Once you have let the car down off the jack and been for a short drive the suspension will have settled to where it will stay. I dont think the front will be lower than it is in your photo. Park your car on a flat surface and look at it from the side, personally I like to see the same horizontal cill height front to back.

 

Had to check as you made me worry! Lol measured 610mm to centre of front arch and 625mm to centre of rear arch, parked on level ground.

 

I have put AVO standard ride heights on mine. Taken ages for the front to settle. But I have to say it has improved the ride quality loads I think and no more scrapping anywhere at all even with four people and a boot full lol. I would prefer mine lower but for peace of mind and all that ha.
Bet you had fun putting the rears on
