H&R Springs - 30mm Drop - Problem

[2bad82]

So i dropped my 450SEL, see attached photos with the only kit i could find H&R Springs 30mm drop. For some reason the front of the car is now lower than the rear though! Has anyone else had this problem?

Its def too low at the front and feels more than 30mm, the rear to me looks about right or what i had expected. NOtice the slight forward tilted stance from rear to front...

I am worried maybe the guys who installed for me removed bump stops at the front? or some kind of spacer? is this possible? I will be talking to them tomorrow. But if they say they havent i am going to nered something to lift the car at the front slightly.

I appreciate theres a lot of weight at the front, but i was expecting an even drop all round from the H&R Springs.

Original Shocks still installed, but they are not shot as far as i can tell.

Just to add when you sit in the car its like the dash and bonnet are on a gradient down, where as before the nose of the car sat proud up in front of you.

You might also get the part numbers from the H&R springs and call them up to confirm that you received the correct springs for the front and rear.

Do the rear springs have these rubber shims as well? If so, you could switch those for the thinnest ones, and switch the fronts for the thickest ones.
