Looks excellent mate Glad to hear they sorted you out in the end. Imo thats looks low enough, but as other people have said put a couple of cable ties on them just to be on the safe side 
Cant wait to see this on sunday!

I ran the same springs for 5 years and never cable tied them or anything.
They never once fell out

all im worried about is where they sit in the bottom seat, its not a circle to sit properly, it just rests around the seat if you know what i mean..
just going to cable tie them in just to make sure lol..

This is exactly what happened to me on my corsa with my FK coilovers, bumpy country road, heard a clanging noise, looked in wing mirror and there was my spring rolling to the side of the road 
When i went for MOT, pulled over the pit, they jacked up car and both springs feel out, the tester said, are they supposed to do that

like i said i wasnt happy with it when i first fitted them, but they have settle about 5mm more now after using the car..
but i think it looks spot on now, as if it was lower it would look like i have a block of lead in the boot as i cant lower the front anymore for obvious reasons (wouldnt be able to turn the wheel)

Im with the 'too low' people, looks a bit silly being that low, very nice car though, the softstars in anthracite suit the silver perfectly.
