Default dropped the mach

well got my H&R race spring set today, came home and installed them. overall im happy with the feel of the springs but as for the drop. i love the front, sits exactly where i want it to. the rear meh... not so much, the car has a rake to it i dont really like. looks like im gonna have to go back in and remove a rear Iso. ill get pics ASAP. its dark out now.

P.S. found out i have a screw in one of my bran new tires. not even 500 miles on it yet.

I see what you mean. Larger gap in the rear. But I'd personally take DVS Z28s advice and wait a bit for them to settle a little and see what the real end result is. I wouldn't be down about it though it looks really good IMO.
