Did you do any sort of modding for the rear to sit like that or did you simply just install the springs?

Are they settled in yet? I have some Stranos sitting the garage but was hoping for a tad lower look so I may look into something else unless these just got installed and aren't settled in yet. Then again mine is an LT1 so the front probaly should sit lower I guess.

Just do the heater hose mod and drop the rear another 1/2"

The only ones I'll condone are the AGX's. I have them @ $409 a set. While these days they are my second choice behind Koni's, it's not a real close second.... just a matter of what's available, and what's all around the best of what's left.

How come that combo makes the front end look a few inches higher off the ground than the rear (looking at the wheel well)?

As always, details matter. I don't know if the car was driven much (or at all) before the pics were taken. And the other thing is simply the orientation of the spring vs. the mounts they ride in. If the pigtails on the springs are not completely seated to the bottom of the steps, the height will be slightly taller.

^ the springs have settled and the front actually sits a litle lower than the rear and my drivway is kind of an incline in those pics.
