Has anyone ever measured their ride height? Fender to ground?
Is front supposed to be slightly lower than the back? I never noticed it until I lowered my car with Eibach and KYB and now the rear end looks higher than the front.
Here's a couple pics to better illustrate the front being lower - BTW the coil springs are on the lowest setting on the Bilstein HD's (there are 2 settings).

your fender to tire gap ratio looks even from front to rear.
Correct me if im wrong but just about all vehicles ride higher in the rear. This most likely due to adding passengers and what ever you want to fill your trunk with. With the trucks I've owned all my drop kits came as 2/3, 3/4 4/5 (inches of drop front/back) and this will even out the vehicle.
So I would say in dialing in your suspension with your shock kits and there being 2 or 3settings ,as i read on some threads, you would probably set it to the highest setting in the front and lowest in the back to get that uniform look in the wells. Or least amount of drop setting front and most rear, which ever terminology one prefers.
I have the Bilstein HD shocks or struts along with H&R sport springs (1 in. lower). Where is this additional spring perch on the HD's?
on normal Bilstein HDs there are 2 grooves cut into the shock body into which you insert a metal ring, the ALUMINUM spring perch then sits on top of this. unless you know what you're doing you have to take the whole spring/shock assy. off the car and decompress/recompress the springs to change the perch setting.
My LSportline suspension uses dampers made to a custom spec by Bilstein and have slightly different valving and four perch settings
