lowering question/problem

Im gonna lower my max over the summer. im not sure if i want springs or coilovers yet, but ill obviously get new shocks, but i have a question first. stock, my max sits higher in the front than the back. Is this j/ a stock spring problem, and will go away w/ new springs? or will this problem still exist even w/ new springs? I plan on getting sprint or intrax if i get springs. Is there anyone out there w/ those springs who knows what im talking about, or if that problem goes away? or am i j/ retarded?

I have noticed this weird ride height on my GXE maxima too! I think you might have to cut the new front lowering springs unless they are specified to be lower in the front than the back? I noticed that the Eibach kit is lower for the fronts and a little higher in the rear so maybe this would balance it out? Any hints would be appreciated too cause I am thinking about gettting springs soon.
Peace

Sprints have the front sitting almost a full inch lower than the back. Intrax are pretty close to level. H&Rs can mkae the back look a little saggy...

When I first installed by sprints, they were like u say, after they have settled and with maybe 1/2 tank gas, the drop hardly looks higher in the back. Maybe 1/4 inch or something........ maybe i should go take pics and measure hehe

that's why you should get Ground Control coilovers you will be able to adjust the height to whatever you want.
