i don't think the drop is that bad to be honest...however i do wish the fornt came down more. with the 19's it doesn't look that uneven, but it could also bee that he car is black and it all kind blends in.

i regret not getting the H&R' now......however maybe during the summer i will swap them out, as of now i don't have the time and the car looks good as it is....but everyday i say i want the front lower....

While I agree, you omitted the fact that your ride has become very rough.

Hey dude I ran into you at the movie theater the other night. Regarding the springs, you seen how much of a drop the prokit did on my car. The front is lower than your fsports, but the back sits higher. So springs infact do drop the car the same regardless of AWD or RWD.

Default Match gap awd lowering

Front sits higher obviously bc AWD different strut setup to allow axles in the front. Top match the drop equal like RWD I installed RCA's(roll center adjusts, bump steer spacers). These pics are lower than F-Sport but the view of the gap obviously shows the difference in the front and rear with and without spacers.
