On the ride height, I am looking at my rear right now and it seems to be sitting 1 - 2 inches higher than mine. Did you remove any weight from the back? Is it on a level surface?

Drive it around and see if the suspension loosens up a little bit and take another pic.

Good choice on struts by the way, I used those in my CRX when I was auto-xing and they performed well.

Edit: I think I also spot a loose ground wire in the second pic, you may want to get that bolted up somewhere. I remember reading somewhere that improper grounding on the rear of the vehicle can cause a slight electric charge to build and will accelerate the rust in the back. I'll see if I can verify that somewhere, but in the meantime, it never hurts to have all the grounds bolted up.
The ground is pretty level. It doesn't have speakers or the sound deadening tar in the back, but that's gotta be <30 pounds. When I get the fronts on I'll give it a quick ride around and see how it goes.

Also, that's not a wire hanging by the exhaust, it's a thread of some sort.

Btw, the rears are about 100 times harder than the fronts to get the spring and shit in right. Lame...
