Default Sport Spring kits...
Why many of springs drop more to the rear instead of the front??? weird...

Example, Hotchkis and Eibach springs, etc.

less weight in the rear

and less drop in the front cause when the full wieght of the front end including the engine will give it the correct look

Probably in anticipation of heavy loads in the back (I.e. passengers). The springs are relatively soft and sits much lower when full. Just my $0.02.

I discovered the reason why those spring drop more in the rear, its to help the downforce produced in front wheel drive vehicles.

I don't care the downforce, I will buy Tein.
