I agree that my LPT to areo suspension coversion lowered the car equally all around. On the stock, the rear seemed lower (looked lower) to start with and I thought the upgrade ( if the springs were out of spec) would correct the difference. But as indicated it dropped a half inch all around
Well I am anal so of course I checked the distance of the chassis frame before and after on a flat surface ( my garage) and amazingly the frame ( from the jacking points is pretty even and if anything the frame is lower in the front.
This adds up to my feeling that, due to the body lines and size of the wheel openings that the car looks lower in the back. I have even thought of putting lowering springs only on the front only and keeping the stock Aero set up ( although that would probably not be low enough for you) but was told that was a bad idea from a weight balance perspective.
