stock trim this is always the case just about any car....this is no sports car no matter how many 4dsc stickers you out on...
fronts are usually seated higher (longer suspension travel) to compensate for the weight of the engine while driving.
5th gen weight distribution ratios are 61/39 % f/r. (Thats pretty crap)
Thats why for an even dropped look its usually (1.4-1.7 inch in front and 1.0-1.2 inch drop in the rear when installing lowering springs.

will it look weird if i only put springs in the front like eibach with the drops only about 1.3 and keep the stock rear, the reason wny i car pool alot and when i carry people in the rear it rubbed to much when i had maxspeed springs all around that what i went back to stock but the front is killing my with this 4x4 look

I got the Eibach Srings front and back they rub a little when I hit a dip with people in the back or on the freeway when its a Messed Up! It shouldn't look weird if you do that it looks horrible with the stock gaps in front!!
