Default spring help

My brother has a 4 gen lude and we installed H&R sport with stock shocks and after we installed the springs, the rear was lower by half an inch compared to the front. we made sure that the front springs goes to the front and same way with the rear springs. Could it be the worn struts at the rear or lowering springs really do that? Cause i know the front struts are fine but the rear struts are kinda worn out.

if your rear struts are worn thats most likely your explanation, its pretty much common sense.

The same thing happened to me kinda. See I put ground control springs on my 5th gen and the driver's side is half an inch higher than the driver's? My car is 6 years old and it only has about 34k miles. Could the reat shocks go that quickly? I posted before but no one really knew I hope to solve this Please help!
Thanks!

Thats just the way it is, cuz the same thing happened to my 4g lude back when I used to have Eibachs springs. My sister's 5g lude was the same as well, the rear was way lower than the front. I now have the skunk2 w/ koni yellows and can adjust it accordingly now.
