Front sit higher on h&r ss

So I lowered my car with h&r super sport
And I noticed that rear was much lower than front
So I drove couple days thinking it will settle but no
Front has 2finger gaps and rear barely a finger gap
If this is normal? is there anyway I can lower just the front more without changing it to coilovers ?

This is a pic of mine just a few minutes after getting the SS installed 2 weeks ago. I'd say it has settled a bit since then. One finger up front and just a tad lower in the rear. The slight difference doesn't bother me. Mine had the sport susp stock, what was yours? I have to take some current pics.

Google image search for H&R SS on f30. Most look fairly even. Give it time to settle.

Maybe that's the issue. Can you post a pic?

I wouldn't sweat it, looks fine to me. But it's your car, if you don't like it, you can always change it up.

It looks normal to me. Look at the bottom of the sills. They seem to line up perfectly with the road. Keep in mind that these cars come from the factory with a bit more gap at the front than the rear.
