Nm springs question

I just had nm springs and Koni yellows installed a week ago on my 2013 cooper s but the front looks lower than the rear. Is this normal. I made the mistake of not taking measurements of te stock suspension height. The shop that done the install was a reputable shop so I'm trusting everything was installed correctly. Thanks

The rear of the Mini is naturally higher than the front, and the NM springs lower the car 1.2" all around. So it may be more noticeable because the height difference between the front and the back is proportionally higher to the height of the car, if that makes any sense.

The springs and shock may not have totally settled either so that's a factor as well.

I have the exact same combo, and mine was higher in the rear as well when first installed, and I wasn't a fan of the stance. 6 months later, the springs have settled out to even. So, give it some time to settle in.

Thanks


I've attached a pic of the car for reference. Just one week after the install.
This isn't a perfect pic angle wise, but its all I have on my phone.


It actually doesn't look that different in this photo but certain angles when its in parking lot makes the rear look higher.
