hi ive just fitted a set of four britpart yellow springs standard hight with gas dampers and now the rear is sits quite low and the front rides high.

could i fit +1 inch just at the rear to bring it up to match the front
many thanks

Are you sure they're a matched set? Front springs are a bit beefier than rears due to having to carry the weight of the engine, so I wonder if you've been sold fronts +1" and/or heavier duty and still have standard height/rated rears by mistake.
Very unusual for the front to sit high all by itself as it's generally heavier than the rear.

i assume so they were sold to me by paddocks and when i removed the old springs the fronts were the same size

Did you resolve this spring issue?
I've just fitted britpart +2inch springs today and the front seems to be 1 inch higher.
Any ideas? suggestions?
Please tell me its normal !!!!

When I got my set from them last year they had sent me 4 rear springs.A quick phone call later and they sent 2 front springs out.Worth checking them to make sure.

Checked today. Less than an inch difference. I think they are ok.
I fitted the springs that had the turret rings in the same box to the front so I think i got away with it!
