i had these springs on my car, i did not like them at all. defiantly the back was lower than the front. it pissed me off.

right now im running the stock springs with a half a coil cut in back and the sport springs up front. after i install my longtubes i will either buy a new set of springs or take out a front iso and cut some more off the rear.

I have slight reverse rake. I'm taking out the front isos tomorrow because after 3 months my springs haven't "settled" yet...

here they are on my car. two year old springs at that point. my rear shocks were also BLOWN in that picture, i dont think that made a difference because when i put new shocks on it still had a similar stance.

OK, will for anyone interested, I did call H & R tech support. The answer is the springs WILL NOT settle over time. They are what they are. He told me to make sure the front springs were installed correctly. The pigtail, or end of the spring, on the bottom should line up with a hole on the pocket that holds the spring (drain hole) attached to the lower control arm. He said sometimes just turning the spring 1/4 or 1/2 a turn can make a difference. I checked my car and there are two drain holes on the lower pocket. The installation manual says the spring should cover only one hole, which it does. You obviously want at least one drain hole open. I may take it back to the shop and see if they can turn it a bit to bring it down.
