Yes, according to Tein specs, the rear can only be adjusted from 1.4-2.6 as opposed to the fronts which can only be adjusted from 1.6-2.8 so you're looking at a .2" difference in ride height.

Not to mention that the springs need to settle a little and since there is not as much weight in the back as there is in the front, the rear springs will more likely take a little longer to settle.

Another thing to look at is that the front lip is lower than any of the lips on the car by .5" or so. The front will always look lower unless you change the lips.

Read your specs. The fronts can be lowered more
than the rear can't it? Say the fronts have 2" total
adjustment and the rears have 1.5". If you lower the
the adjustments all the way the front goes lower with
the rear being higher? Right?
