Default Mondeo V6 Lowering

Help Please.
I've just had 30mm drop Eibachs put on my 98 V6 SI the car looks like it's not dropped at all if not it seems higher at the front , when the garage put the car on the ramps initally they had to use blocks to lift the front end up.
Now after fitting the lowering springs they never needed the blocks.
Now measuring from the ground to the tip of the arch is 25' the rears is 24' thats without the rear springs fitted.
The springs that came off are Ford Standard Greens as far as I'm aware although I know Ford did different setups for the V6's.
Any views on this guys?

BTW I've driven 20miles on them since fitting to bed them in.

Are they of the progressive coil variety...i.e. are there tight coils are one end and they gradually open up. If so make sure that tight coils are at the top otherwise it may not compress correctly.
