I've just been out to double check mine, which is still standard set-up, but no I wouldn't say they are lower at the back.

Yes they tend to be lower at the back, a 40mm front drop and standard rear looks nice on them.

Carl was referring to the lack of lows on the back of mine...

The only reason I can think for this is that the same beam is used as the hatch...but obviously the estate rear weighs more!

I think they sits well at the back tbh, shame the front looks daft!!

Bear in mind the estate rear hangs out further than the hatch too, so the weight has a greater moment in relation to the pivotal point of the trailing arm, hence them being lower.

Dont worry, they look even stupider with 400L of compost in the back and a fat mate on the tow ball.
