The back was much harder to lift so we ended up with a reverse drag rake

I saw that, but the back of the car looks really low. Lower than standard. Might just be a hoptical illusion though.

No you're right it does look low (although in that picture, the handbrake is on making it a bit lower still). When my dad bought the car, it was standard but it did seem to sit quite low. We got longer, heavier springs from a 330D Estate which we fitted all around. Apparently on the front dampers, you can adjust the mounting point of the the damper which we did and it raised the front up a decent amount. This isn't an option for the back dampers so we need to investigate other ways of doing it. If we could get the back to match the front it would be way more capable.
