Add 20mm to the rear. Probably look better as well.

I would also say add 20mm at the back, however, that doesn't look like a 40mm at the front either. When did you fit the front springs? Could be that they need to be 'bedded' in for it to sit lower.

Mine sits about this low, and if you ever plan on taking passengers in the rear seat, it's too low!
You could of course think about messing about with the arches like my mate keeps telling me he's going to do...

fitted spax 40mm springs a few month back when fitted gti shocks and replaced top brearings.
it had the stoopid pulling/swerving when changeing gear on motorway so basicly all front suspension,wishbones,wheel & suspension bearings,track rod ends,droplinks the lot all got replaced . . . and yup it stopped the swerving 
dont think it helps on the front with it being a non sports wing

good luck I need to get round to doing my torsion bars.. too high on mine! Definitely looks too low on yours... Are the rims 16 or 17"?? Looks about a 30mm drop on the front. same as mine which to be honest, improves the ride significantly without being silly.

Looks better than it did before. My perfectionism wants it to be up a bit more at the back to level it out though lol.

Maybe bring the front down a tiny bit and it'll look spot on.
