Ph2 172 Cup Rear Ride Height with Grams Springs

Please can any of you gurus out there lighten my darkness regarding lowering springs that actually reduce the rear ride height... without the expense of going to coil-overs, that is?

I fitted the Grams kit from Kam Racing, that comprises a set of 4 lowered springs with new Cup dampers, and the fronts look fine and as eagerly anticipated. But despite the Grams blurb explaining that these springs lower the car more than Eibach Sportlines, at the rear I have found the ride height to be no different to the standard Cup springs. If anything, maybe because the Grams springs are a tad stiffer than standard, the rear ride height could actually be marginally higher!

Has anyone else experienced this disappointing result?

And can anyone suggest an alternative set of rear springs that will reduce the ride height by at least 15.0mm?
Thanks guys.
BTW I never carry rear seat passengers.

I was going to buy the set up myself as it looked great value.
I read on here that the Grams springs are lower than Eibachs and Cooksports aonit seemed like the perfect combination with the cup shocks.
Is the rear stripped out too??

The rear isn’t stripped out as such, but for hill climbing (in the standard road-going class) I obviously remove everything from the boot, the Cup rear bench weighs next to nothing anyway, and I try to have no more than a litre or two of fuel on board. And I have no roll cage.
