Z4 2.5si 06MY suspension

Wondering if anyone can advise, I just changed my suspension on my 2006 2.5si, about to hit 80k miles - I had 2 leaking shock absorbers, unfortunatly 1 at the front and 1 at the rear. On advice, and general knowledge its always been a better option to change in pairs, therefore I changed all 4. Along with this I changed the coil springs aswell (trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone). However when collecting my car from the garage it was sitting on a hill but the front looked higher than normal... I took the car to a flat surface thinking maybe its because its on a hill however it still doesn't look right.... I have used Sachs Coil Springs and Shock Absorbers all round, again given advise that these are basically what BMW use anyway, they just rebrand them with BMW and put a bigger price on them. Has anyone got advice on this?

I have attached photos so all can see, the rear doesn't look so bad, but the front looks like its on stilts...

thats what I was thinking... I got the parts from eurocar parts and even phoned them to check they were the right ones. Just as you've said that, I have just checked, and it looks as tho they have given me the wrong ones! Thanks for your quick response!
