Apparently the "Special" in the special equipment listing also includes not just electric windows and AC but electric front seats and automatic transmission. The big ones are obviously AC and Auto tranny.

I have a euro 230E no AC and I put in special equip HR springs and I got a similar look but not as high because HR's are notoriously low anyway.

I think your problem is the lack of AC and the fact that those are standard springs. And maybe the stuff in the back too
