youwish2beme - I believe longer bolts will drop the rear and make the front look higher. If you want the rear to come up a little, put in new rubber grommets at the rear spring bolts that you have, or if they are new - add washers under them - or if you have adjustable bolts or room in the castlelated nuts - crank them up a few turns. As I said, my original springs are a quarter above spec in the front, and would be higher if I didnt have A-C.
One alternative is to remove the front springs and use a $20 air cutter to lop .5inch off. My take (14 years ago) was to reinstall the air shocks that were on the back of the car when I got it. Now I can add air to keep the headlamps on the road when my wife and I take 2 pullman suitcases, 2 rucksacks with hiking boots, 2 packs a cooler and a camera case with us on road trips.
