What do ya'll think?

Is the rear too low compared to the front?

When were the spring installed? if it was only yesterday or today they will sink a bit more. Looks pretty good as is... The front is maybe just a touch up from where it should be... Go throw it through some twisties and it should be alright.

What kind of springs did you use??? Did you replace your struts and shocks as well??

because the H & R springs lower your car 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear, and with the natural stance/setup of our cars 1.5 in front and 1"in back is perfect. Unlike most other springs (Eibach, etc.) which lower your entire car 1.3-1.5 inches.

i bought the bilstein bts kit from shox.com... it came with bilstein sport struts/shocks and lowering springs (supposedly hyper coil makes them), but the springs say bilstein on it.. they would not reveal who the real manufacturer of the springs is...
the specs said it would lower the car approx 1"-1.25"...
