Here's a pic.

I'm a bit concerned by the front ride height. Seems like it might be getting lower. Left side may be slightly lower than the right. I wonder if the cheap springs I used in the front aren't very good.

The rear seems a bit higher than OEM. I'm tempted to cut a bit of height out...
Agreed, the rear looks close to factory “new” which if you look around online is the tire “centered” in the curve of both fenders. Your front is definitely low, but that just depends on personal preference of where you want it to sit

All springs will settle initially after a few hundred miles. Even my custom Bilstein setup built with entirely Swift springs settled between 1/2”-3/4” in the first month.

I installed a set of these spring spacers in the front https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B07WGF224D/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3BEBWTOARC1WU&psc=1

It definitely raised the front of the car back up about 1" which is where I'd like it to be. I think on smooth roads it rides better, I suspected it was sitting on the bumpstops before.

I'm not sure if the first spring loop at the bottom is considered a fully "active" spring. If it is, I assume I increased the spring rate by 20-25%. On rougher roads the ride feels harsher. I haven't had a chance to push it much in corners yet.
