I just put on my H&R Springs and my Tokico HP Blue struts and the front is very low, thats not my problem the problem is that the rear is like an inch higher than the front is this normal??

Yes it's normal. You get the "cut springs" look in front. One of the things I hate most about H&R. Don't make me get started on the rest.

What are some good springs then? I've read a lot about H&R's sucking.

yeah totally normal.......i got h&r's w/ tokico illumina II's.......i think they are a huge improvement over stock but certainly not for the daily driver....its jsut like anything U CANT HAVE IT ALL GUYS, its a trade off comfort for handling...i was actually thinking about trimming a half coil or maybe less off my rear springs to fix the "muscle car" rake issue....i think the front looks awesome that low personally

I have that same combo and I really like them. I use them on my daily driver, and as long as I'm not going over anything really bumpy, it's not too bad.

H&R look is the best, but I thought the ride was horrible. WAAAAYY to bouncy. I duplicated the look with Tein coilovers AND got the ride I wanted.

H&R give it that slammed looked... also depends on the shock absorbers...

since I have TEMS I can turn them to soft.. i wish my eibachs didn't have a progressive area it REALLY is ass on turning as you dip a extra inch or so until you get to the non progressive area.

h&rs give the car the BEST look for just springs, the ride is bouncy though. On smooth roads the ride is actually very nice ).

I love slammed, for whatever reason I think it offsets the front end.
