I currently have stock sport suspension but it seems like the left side is a little higher than the right and the rear sits up a little higher then I would like it to sit. I'm assuming h&r sports will drop it a slight bit lower and be even all around? Can someone with h&r sport spring with sport suspension shocks chime in. Thanks.

I believe its just over an inch, the H&R website should have the specs. I would show you a couple pics of mine but i went from non-sport stock to H&Rs

Thanks for the pix. I am being reminded how much fender gap there was on the OEM suspension setup especially in the rear.
