Another question that may have to be asked is what shock could you run on more than a 2 inch drop. The front being higher is just what this car does when lowered. The only real conclusion is to go coil overs. It will let you raise and lower it any way you please. Just do not cut your springs its not safe. There is a reason the easiest way is not always the best way. Honestly I think it looks good right as it is. And yes it will settle a bit but with a sub and stuff in the back you may drop a bit more back there. Either way good luck and let us know what you end up doing!

fyi, thats how its supposed to sit (as pictured) mine sits like that too, I have 2 10s now, I had 2 12s, the 12s might have made it settle a bit lower, but even without them for almost a year its still tucking about 1 fingers worth in the back and has 1.5ish finger gap in the front...
the car itself looks level though..

just ride on them for a while and the will settle a little lower. don't cut your springs. I'm riding on sportlines and have almost no gap after a year of driving on them.

Ok i'll do that. But my question is would it make a diffrence if say you have tockico shocks/struts and I have Koni yellows. Could that have anything to do w/ how high or low my car sits.

Rep Power: 327 If done correctly springs can be cut with ok results. I dont recommend it but i've done it in the past 
I wouldnt recommend cutting more than what would leave no tension on the spring when its installed. As for the speakers in the back TA-DA there is your issue with why it sits lower in the back ! Not only willit make the back sit lower but it also makes the frt sit higher because of the weight transfer to the back
