The high rear end after spring replacement is common and is part of the =
'too hard' thing needing extra weight in the boot to get the rebound =
straps fastened.
Personally I wouldn't jack up the front to match the rear, people spend =
inordinate amounts of time and money trying to lower MGBs! What you =
could try is lowering 'blocks' between the axle and the springs, as used =
with parabolic springs, but may need longer U-bolts.
Even with new OEM rears my CB roadster was too low when fully laden, =
bottoming and grounding in country lanes, I ended up extending the rear =
shackles.

3 years ago I got an MOT safety test fail on the sagged rear springs, =
so these were replaced.
From that moment on the car looks a bit like a dragster with the rear =
higher than the front.
=20
So I should look for replacement front coils.
