hey man, I have the same set up as you. Did you have rubbing issues in the front? I rolled my front fenders, but still rub on them. Maybe I just need to lift the front up a little.
I’m not sure what perch you’re talking about. I pulled everything out. Post a pic of this perch you speak of. Thanks. And what do you mean by flush?
By perch I mean the little spindle that the spring sits on. It has an adjustable ring on it so you can set the desired ride height.
When I installed my H&R coilovers... I set them all the way down. Took car off lift and was disappointed at how high the rear sat. Removed perch and problem solved.

Gotcha, the rear already sits pretty low, I’d say even with the front, I don’t want it sitting lower than the front, that is for sure. Plus I’m putting 275/35 PSS’s on soon and there’s a possibility they wouldn’t fit if I went any lower in the rear. Here’s another pic of how it sits

Also, wouldn’t it clunk around back there without the perch?
My new car is a 2012 non performance package but with 19s. I like the way it sits in the rear but the front has too much gap. if I did springs with the 17mm pads in the rear would I get the look I want? I basically just want the front to come down but I assume even with the 17mm pads the rear would still drop a little, I'm just curious if the front will drop enough more in the front so I don't get the same reverse rake look, just lower.
Here's a pic of my car I took when I was thinking about this. I'd be happy with it as, is if the front was lower by a little bit to be honest.

ShaneN. , I am sure that the thicker pads in the rear would help keep the balance. I have a 2012 as well and found exactly the same as you regarding the gap on the front fenders. I am still not sure why it is like that as it doesn't make sense to me. If the thicker pad is not enough (is 17 mm the thickest?) you can try some shims made out of vinyl floor tiles to raise the rear some more. AMG3.2 did this on his when he was running springs. Post #16.

Yah I'm reluctant to even get springs because of this as I'm pretty happy with how it looks in the back as is. I want it to have a slight rake to it in the end. So if I did springs, I'm sure the back will go down a bit more even with the 17mm pads, I just want to be sure the front will lower a decent amount more than the rear so I don't end up with the same stance just slightly lower.
Here is another pic I just took on flat ground as reference.

Looks like the wrong tire size. With factory 19" it should be 235/35-19 looks more like 30 aspect ratio.
