Clk Suspension Question

Hello, i have a question, i had a used H&R Cup Kit installed last week, i took it to my local shop to have it installed, during the installation they called me and told me i did not have rear spring pads. They went ahead and installed the kit anyway, when they finished, the rear was 1/2 higher than the front...Can anybody recommend what i could do to even it out? The shop told me to purchase a higher spring pad for the front to even it out. I've been noticing that the back ride is very very rough, is this due to not having the spring pad at all in the back? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

haters crazy
I know the cup kit drops the front alot more than the rear. I have #4 spring pads up front and #3 in the rear and the front is lower than the back by a little. If you want an even drop I would go with #4 up front and #1 in the rear.
