Default Ahmed Bayjoo springs- sits odd??

Ive just fitted some Ahmed springs to my 4x4 saph, i cannot compare the old to new as i had 2 broken springs!! The front sits pretty nice, but the rear sits around an inch higher, its on the standard wheels, its a fast road set up, not the track set up,with koni adjustables. is this normal?

the ahmed springs are slight lower than stnadrd ride height, i'm led to believe 15mm lower than standard, i certainly dont think it should higher it

You need to give the car time to settle, it will settle lower a bit once done a few miles.

Done a few miles in it since saturday when i lowered it, what i meant was the back now sits around an inch higher than the front, but after looking around at standard 4x4s, they sit similar, only slightly higher all round obviously. I can live with it as it looks very standard from the outside anyway. Thanks for the advice guys.
