Default suspension help

i recently just lowered my car on wednesday with the tokico HP kit (springs/shocks combo from tokico) which is advertised to lower the car about 1.2 inches all around.. however, the back is lower than the front.. and i was wondering if this was normal or is something wrong?.. i really don't like that look cause i sort of wanted it even all around.. and no i did not reverse the springs because they are marked with R or F on them.. any ideas?.. thanks

they are lowered the same amount but the fender well of the front flares up higher than the back giving the illusion that the front is higher. i had the same problem with my eibach prokit which lowers 1.2 all around also.

it rides pretty comfortably, not as good as a stock ride of course, i can feel a lot more of the road, but its not too stiff.. i like them a lot, its just that uneven look is killin me.. hopefully in time it might settle some more

The back LOOKS lower than the front, if you lower everything even amount the car looks like it's angled upwards.

In actuality the fenders in the front are cut higher than the rear giving the illusion it rides higher.

gosu is right about the front fender having more gap to begin with, but i also have to ask . . . do you have a lot of junk in your trunk? Perhaps 2 midgets in the back seat wrastlin? Extra weight back there would add to your problem.
And I hope I don't have to clarify the midget comment

no my trunk only has a sub, which is about 20 lbs? shouldn't make that much of a difference from what i know.. other than that my trunk is empty.. i guess it is just an illusion hopefully it'll setlle some more over time.. and these are tokico HP's they arn't adjustable
