Is my car to high?

[Adz172]

Hey guys
Ok so been having problems with my steering and stuff so took my car to kwik fit and they found a snapped rear coil spring, bought some off ebay (brand new) and the guy claimed that they are for any clio including a ph2 172, purchased them and fitted them the other day, was just wondering if my car is sitting much higher than it should be? Are ph2 172`s lowered as standard? Heres a pic to show how high it actually is! I know they might take sometime to settle down but cant see them lowering much. Some help would be great. Thanks, oh and my car is a 53 PH2 172 no cup packs i don`t think lol.

172s are not that high as standard.

Thought so, will give it a few days for the springs to settle if not and he wont take them back will open a case on ebay. Haha i know, crap tyres but my budget isnt great £180 for 4 was good enough lol.
