My measurement is 90mm with the original springs fitted with new bilstein shocks I wonder if they have sent the wrong shocks because everything else is correctly fitted

On the rear Bilsteins you will need lower the bottom spring perch by having a machine shop add a groove beneath the original groove. There has been some debate as to the distance below the original perch. I did this a while back and there is some info on my RS2 America thread as well as other threads. If my memory serves me I think I chose to move mine 20mm down. Others chime in to keep keep honest.

Ah yes the Avant rear is like a coil over with a fixed lower perch
