Default Got a ?? about sprint lowering springs

as most of you know most ES300 rear look lower than the front, did it look like this from factory?? i dont know,

now im going to lower my car on springs and kyb shocks..

the Sprint lowering springs are 1.6 front and 1.6 rear..

question: would that mean since my car is lower in the rear, after installing these lowering springs my rear would still look lower than the front??

or is it that my old springs are sagged...

is that why other brands have the front lower than the rear?? example tanabe DF210 has the front at 1.8 and the rear at 1.0, maybe to balance out the stance??

Our cars come factory like that, there is a larger wheel gap in the front.
If you get a equal spring drop then it will look like the front his higher. I have a 2" drop and it looks higher in the front, but when you measure it its the same height. If you wanna balance it then you will have to get 2 different sets or find one that does it, i believe eibach and the d2 has different drop rates to balance it.
