Help please! Audi A4 lowered, back higher than front???

[150bhp]

So got my 1996 Audi A4 sport 1.8t lowered a couple of months ago on Ventura Sport -30mm springs. I knew it wouldn't lower much as the A4 sport is already lower as standard but now the back end of the car is much higher than the front. It wasn't like this just after the springs were fitted but the rear has been gradually getting higher?
This is how the car looked just after fitting the new springs...

I was well chuffed but this is how it now looks...


Front arch...


Rear arch ...

Anyone know if the rear can be adjusted to make it equal to the front or any ideas how to rectify it short of getting my angle grinder out!? To be honest the handling's great but it just doesn't look right so hopefully one of you guys can shed some light. My mechanics on holiday just now so I'm hoping one of you can give me some answers, cheers guys.

Thats strange, it looks like the back has got higher. Have the springs slipped out of their seats?

Have you put some new shocks on, that have "pumped up" ?

I know, its bizarre! The shocks weren't renewed and it was fine when i first got the car back. I'll go out and check the springs haven't slipped out their seats.

Nope, the springs are sitting flush on their seats. Any other ideas?

Just stick the two dead bodies back in the boot and that should bring it back down.

I'm sure i read something similar on one of the forums. I'll have a quick look and if i come accross it, i'll post up a link or cut and paste the info.

Clutching at straws here, but was it full of petrol in the first photo and not in the second?

hi, i couldn't see anything in the forums.

My thinking would be, if you replaced the springs only it could be something to do with the dampers. I would disconect them and see how the car sits. Maybe the old ones are too long, now that you have lowered it?

I might be taking pi#h, but if you get enough suggestions then one will be right hopefully.
