Nice. It doesn't look low, but it will settle.

They will settle about another half inch or more once they settle. Once they settle repreload (sic) them and they will drop :)

No issues used the RB instructions...Tip for the fronts, break the shock top retainer nut free before removing from the car...

Are the rear pics reversed? It looks like the rear is higher afterward. Your before pic looks a lot like my own, sagging with maybe an inch or less of daylight from the top of the rear tire to the top of the wheel arch opening.
