H&R Sport Higher in Front?

It has been a few weeks since I installed my H&R Sports with KYB AGX struts.. and I just cant seem to figure out why the front seems higher than the back.

Today I jacked it up to check over everything and the springs seem settled on the lower perch, one was just a little off so I twisted it, but the other was all the way settled.

The only thing I can think of is the front might be riding on the bump stops, I did not trim them even in the back (Which apparently you are supposed to do.).

I also made sure to tighten down the strut hat nut all the way until it won't tighten anymore, but I can't see how it makes any difference anyway.

OR its the way its SUPPOSED to be and I'm just being too picky. Take a look at the pics and tell me what you think..

(Yes I know the car is dirty, the pics suck and the rear tires are garbage)

I wish someone knew about this...

At this point I really wish I could see if it was riding on the bump stops.. perhaps because it is BASE Spring/Struts on an SH.

It just doesn't seem right..

hr sport has a 1.4" drop front rear. stock is higher in front than the rear. if you wanted it equal you should have got srpings with more of a front drop, like hr race or eibach sport

Illusion, front fenders on all cars arch higher up, can make it look as if the front is higher slightly, measure the distance between the ground and lift points at all 4 corners and it'll more than likely be even.

Get coilovers, with my Flex's I can be stock height and dampening, totally dumped and stiff or anything in between.
