Well, when I had my Neuspeed Race springs, (when it finally settled) my driver side was lower than the passenger side and my front was higher than the back. There wasn't anything I could really do about it. I tried lobbing off a couple of coils off the front but that just made the ride harsher. Didn't really do anything in terms of lowering the car more. That is why I settled with the Skunks. This was also sitting on 16's.

That's natural because the weight is up front. You can get stiffer springs or coilovers to fix that.

its notorious on hatches also cuz the sideskirts and front w/lip are similar in height from the ground
the rear is a lot higher then those 2

here's some specs..
wheels: 205/40/16
springs: h&r RACE springs (from a EK)
shocks: tokico illuminas..

and i believe my bumpstops are cut..

and i have a front lip also.. so that will make a difference..

hope this helps dude..

Nice hatch!

I also have H&R Race, the front actually sits higher, the rear is more tucked.

I think you'd might want to look into a full coil-over system if you want the custom look you want.
