H&R springs, is this height correct?
 
I installed some H&R Springs over the weekend the front came down normally looks lowered but the rear seems a little bit off....

It looks almost too high in the rear I don't know if it's supposed to be like that or if I did something wrong...

I even tried swapping out shocks when I had it on the OEM shocks it was the same right now it's on Stagg shocks..

Can anyone confirm if this is how it's supposed to look..

I had same results after installing Eibach lowering springs.
Ended up cutting 3/4 coil off the springs and it sit almost level now.
Spring rate increases when cutting springs but ride quality is still good.

Yeah, rear looks high. Maybe you got the convertible or Clubman springs? Those are longer in the back due to the extra weight.

Just cut 3/4 of a coil off the top rear coils. It will give look you want

I guess I'm just going to have to cut off 3/4 of top of spring off.....

I have to say the ride quality is nice but the looks it is just not what I was expecting, I'm actually pretty disappointed in these lowering springs.... and I'm not a fan of cutting springs..

It looks like that, it'll settle a bit more

Yes give it some miles before you cut the spring. I did NM springs years ago and it took a few days of driving for everything to really settle in.
