Is the only way this can happen through the fitting of incorrect springs?

Most people judge ride height by the gap between the top of the wheel arches and the tyres. If you have smaller diameter tyres they may question the ride height. Also as most plus 2 have too low a ride height at the front people often think a normal ride height is too high.

Without measuring it in detail you dont really know where you are at. If the "right" ride height you are aiming for is suspension in it design static location then the things that normally only affects it is the spring lenght or rate being different from design.

Incorrect tightening of the suspension bushes with the suspension at full droop can have a small affect but the main out come of this is stuffed bushes not a significantly higher ride height.
