Spring Pad question

The size of my rims are 19x8.5 (235/35) and 19x10 (265/30). I'm thinking of going H&R springs with #1 pads up front #2 pads in the rear...has anyone gone this seteup before? The reason why I'm thinking of the setup is because I don't necessarily want the back of the car "lower" than the front. If the car will sit even with #1 pads all around then I'll do that...

the car will sit even with #1 pads all around, but with our 210s having a different height at each fenderwell it gives the appearance of the rear being lower, most people who have a problem with this do what you were planning on doing. Using either a number 2 or 3 pad in the rear will make the front slightly lower than the rear, giving the appearance of an "equal" drop.

Thanks for the response Flatline! If anyone has any pics of their car with H&R's on it, please post with whatever pads you're using...Thanks
