Clare, how long since you have changed the springs? if its recent then it may get a bit lower as they need time to settle, plus if your going to increase the wheel size then it will look much better.

I just changed them this weekend, so hopefully they will settle a little bit lower, thanks for the replies

Did you change them yourself or get it done at a garage? If at a garage, if you don't mind me asking, how much was it?
Getting far too many ideas from this forum!

Cool, fancy bumping this thread in a month or two saying how they are and if there's further height difference.
Apart from ZS parts on mine, next on the list is suspension and wheels.
