Wait, so you have BMR springs in the rear and Hotchkiss in the front? Why don't you match your springs?

I can see it. If you want to change the rake, at the rear you could either get taller rear pigtail springs or rear height adjusters and matching springs to adjust to whatever height you want. If you want to leave the rear alone, then get a set of lowering front springs and matched dampers. If you want to corner balance the car get both the rear adjusters and a front adjustable coilover suspension. I suggest talking to StranoParts.

Looks good to me, 1/4 inch isn't that noticeable.

Undo the heater hose mod and bring the rear up a tad.
