Default Lowering spring specs.

Which brand lowering springs that lower the front more than the rears? All manufactures have advertised specs but when seeing them on isX50 cars most of them look like the rears are lower. I understand that the rear fenders have less of an arch like the fronts giving an optical illusion that the fronts appear higher....but im looking for an EVEN drop (as per fender gap) or the rear slightly higher than the fronts (im mainly a muscle car guy, and don't mind the "raked" look).

Currently my is250 rwd is lowered Megans which advertise a 1.2" drop all around on. All thought better than stock, the rears have 1/2 a finger gap,, while the fronts have 1.5 finger gap. I should also mention i have brand new KYB struts/ shocks on the car.



Any suggestions on a spring setup with a more even gap or higher rears than fronts? Please post side view pics to justify what brands actually could possibly satisfy my lowering needs. Thanks.

Btw.....coilovers are out of the question. Im only keeping this car for maybe a year, so i don't wanna spend more money than what springs sell for. Lol. I have my other "money pit" cars for my modding fetish. Lol.
