lowering springs that aren't higher in front???
i am looking for a good set of lowering springs but all the ones i have seen look like they sit lower in the back than the front(especially the pro-kit). it looks like the front sits too high or the back is draging ***. does anybody know of any springs that sit level or higher in the back?

The Stranos seem to sit either level, or slightly higher in the rear. Mine seems to sit perfectly level. My old Pro-Kit did what you are saying...sagged in the rear...not to mention ride is a lot better now.

Pic of my car today. I put the Stocker Springs back in the rear and Eibachs are still in the front. I had the same horrible rear sag with the Eibachs and then the install of the rollcage made it worse. Stock shocks raised up the rear and now my cutout has clearance again!!!! I can actually make it over speed bumps too.

Anything with a dead-even drop will end up looking
like it's dragging ***.
-1" Hotchkiss up front and hose mod out back, did
it for me. Sig pic is with Hotchkiss all around, low
in the butt.

My Sportlines sat the same way as yours; the wicked lower front. But I kept tearing exhaust parts off my car. lol The guy who did my exhaust ran the left side pipe under the torque arm not realizing or caring that this part DOES in fact move. So I just switched the the Sportlines back out with the stockers until I can get the exhaust issue squared away.
Haven't tried the Strano's. But noone has had anything but good to say about them. I may go this route myself.

I just swapped them in a few weeks ago and haven't been to the track yet this year...I don't think any opened up yet, actually.
My buddy runs a 6 speed TA with the exact same shocks and springs as me and has cut 1.58's, so knowing that my A4 car has always hooked great, I expect to still sixty foot decently. Since I also swapped to heavier rims and tires, and POS Nitto Drag Radials (instead of ProStars & M/T drag radials) for the time being...I'm going to say that any loss of 60 foot times are due to the tires/wheels, and not the springs.
