Why do you wanna lower the back more!??
Is it just me or what. But all my friends including me who have the H&R cup kit or just the springs have one major problem: the rear is much lower than the front. The rear is tucked in but the front has too much gap.

There are 4 sizes of spring pads, the difference between a one bump and the thickest 4 bump pad is only 12 mm, just over a half an inch. I was disapointed with my Eibach spring drop, but I put the thickest pad in the back. I just bought the thinnest pad set, so my total drop will finally be closer to an inch and a half instead of the inch I have now. They are only about $8.00 at dealers.
