Question Just had car lowered and .......

I went with the H&Rs and put #2 pads in front/rear. The front is perfect but the
back looks 1/2" too low. So, my question is: Will #3 pads in the rear put it the
other 1/2" I'm looking for or what # pad do I need for the rear? I have no rubbing or anything, it's just a looks issue. One last follow-up to this: How much
of a DIY is putting a different pad on (for rear)?

Going to # 4 pads in the rear will raise your car 1/3 " ( 8 mm ).
Took me about 1 hour to change both.
Much easier to do than the front, because you don't need a spring compressor.

Thanks Meanie. I'm picking some up today. The car does look sick sitting low! Another 1/2" in rear will help..... Thanks again.
