Hi anybody

I have a 2005 1.4 se petrol. S T springs fitted twice, unfortunately I still have the slightly annoying raised front end. So I'm hoping someone can help me, if only the front. I'm thinking of changing the shock absorbers all round to new originals and change front springs only to drop the front down by about 25mm.
HElP PLEASE
 
What sprongs are on the front? Has your car got OSS? There are different springs for petrol, diesel and those with OSS. If you have diesel , or oss springs on the front it’ll be high, and for extra highness it could have diesel with OSS😱
 
These are standard ride height front springs for the 1.4 petrol (OSS or non-OSS). The rear springs are stiffer if you have an OSS, but the front springs can be used with either OSS or non-OSS.

carpartsinmotion are currently listing them on ebay for just over £15 each if you use their 20% off code, ie. FIXUP20

Not sure what oss means, but ST springs are a spring brand that I bought from demon tweeks, which they promised were correct for my car. The back sits perfectly, but front needs to drop 25 mum.

The shape and design of the front wings gives the impression it is too high. It is not. When the lower door rubbing strips are looked at they should be parallel to the ground and if so the car is level.
 
sometimes the rear spring seats and spring top rubbers are deteriorated enought ot drop the rear a touch despite good springs and shocks.
 
Rear sits definitely lower than front. Are you sure you have front springs for 1.4 petrol? They may selled you diesel springs 🤔

This is mine TDI with TA Technix sport susp. -25 mm right after installation

Yes
They sold me diesel springs. I'm pretty much trying to achieve the same look you have. Not standard.
