question about droping car

I recently droped my car with H&R springs with KYB AGX shocks/struts. But the front seems to be higher than the front, just a llittle. Will the springs drop a little more after they settle in?

sounds like you're screwed if the front is higher than the front...sounds like an overhead centripital valve piston flange cover of the left front occipital motivational misfire...not good, not good at all
are your rear tires flat? cause that can do it sometimes

Like everyone said they will settle some. How do you like how the car drives now?

I had a set of cattman coilovers on my car before. The handled great but they were a bit harsh for me. I love the setup I have now. Much smoother and not as noisy as the coilovers. Over all I'm happier with this setup.

i'm hoping to get h&r/illumina setup this coming spring. my fear is always that since i am 5 speed and no options htat my front end is going to sit higher than the back. i don't mind it if it's minimal since i need some clearance for snow and everyday pothole driving. your car however looks great.

if the difference bugs you, you can always cut the front springs (by a very very small ammount) to balance the car
