Rear suspension height vs. front
Does it bother anyone else that the rear wheel gap is larger than the front on the factory sport suspension? I thought it was an optical illusion so I measured it and sure enough the rear has a larger gap. I am used to the typical rear bias on the German sports sedans and prefer it. I am looking to lower with springs but they all say the front and rear lowers the same amount. Can anyone with H&R sports config the front vs rear from center of wheel to fender?

the 034 springs will lower your front a little lower than the rear.. i have non-sport shocks and went with 034 and went from 4 finger gap all around basically to a 1 1/2 finger gap up front and 2 finger gap in rear with only springs installed

The purpose is to keep the car on a flat plane when you load up the trunk as well as acceleration. Otherwise the rear squats.
My old truck was like that. I put a 2" drop kit in the rear (which looked great driving around empty), but when I loaded my ATV in the back, it sagged 2" which was annoying since the nose was in the air all the time.

Ahhh... You must have a discerning eye to pick out 3./16".
