I'm seriously wondering if mine were fitted correctly. It really doesn't sit that low. Think I'll be getting Joe to check this out.

(Joe didn't fit them btw)

You guys need to measure the distance between the top of the hub carrier and the bottom of the spring platform to make sure there's no inconsistency between dampers.

Mario, did you still need that measurement? I have that combo and an LE, so identical in theory?

Could it be tired bushes?
Different vehicle but once, on an old spitfire, I fitted a powerflex full kit to the front and back and even after it settled in (200 mile drive) it was still an inch or so higher than it had been with the old tired rubber in there. It had a rear leaf spring with intermediate PU doughnuts so is a fairly different matter but maybe a possibility on the Coupe?
