suspension question

I'm running H&R springs on stock strutsright now, and I hate how the front sits higher than the back, can this be fixed with aftermarket struts or would I need a different kind of springs also, could they be any lower on aftermarket struts

Or you could install rear springs that don't drop the car as low. H-Tech's drop the rear only 1"...

Ammi, how much would that run me and how much is it gonna affect ride quality and performance

Wade2sleeper, Can you post a pic; I am leaning toward the H&R's but also don't like when the front looks higher.......Eibach is supposed to be a 1.3F 1.0R drop vs. the H&R at 1.4F 1.3R. Not too much differ, but may look a bit more even.
