Any quick advice most welcome.

The Bilstein rears have only the small metal bush fitted to the rubber mounts, the originals had a larger bush that appeared to fit to the trailing arms much better, is mine ok?

The front H&R lowering springs appear longer than the originals although the originals haven't been removed yet...is this correct?????

I'm no doubt confused..

car is a 964

Bilstein B6 sports and green H&R's

Don't know about the H&Rs because I went for the PSS9 set up, but I wouldn't worry about the length. The original springs will be longer too, once you've compressed them and got them off the strut. Presumably the H&Rs once fitted will compress more under the car's weight than the originals, hence giving you the lower ride height.
