Swift Spec-R vs H&R springs.

I currently have the swift spec-r's installed and I love the ride but I always feel like there is slightly more wheel gap in the front than the rear and it really bugs me. I'd like to go a little lower, and from what I can see the H&R springs have a nice even low ride height but I'm worried if there is any quality difference between the two? The swifts seem to sell for upwards of $500 where the H&R's are around $200. Can anyone chime in if it's worth changing or if there is a fix to the front being higher than the rear. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the front is always higher than the rear. I think it looks odd when the front is the same height as the rear. It makes the car look like it's always leaning forward like a fastback.

I run the H&R springs the front wheel gap is also 1 finger width larger than the rear. I have a hair less than 2 fingers in the front and 1 in the rear. The drop is great and low enough but not too low for DD I have no issues with speed bumps. The ride is great, the stock springs were plenty stiff these are just a little stiffer.

Could you post a picture, maybe with a ruler, so I can see where you're sitting?

Just installed h&r springs. Not sure on the difference in fender gap front to rear. I'll check that out tomorrow. But I'm very pleased with the drop and the ride of the h&r springs!
