looks good im hoping to that this summer im thinking of running 18s or 20s on mine so im looking to drop 2 in front 2.5 to 3 in the rear.
 
I just bought the eibach spring kit it supposed to be 1" front and .8" rear and the rear still sat lower thats why I cut the front ... and I did like all the space in the wheel wells. I want to put 17" on it and the tires are barely shorter than factory, I didnt think it would look right ... hey I know I can still run over speed bumps w/o hitting 8) .. my elky I thought i was gonna get stuck everytime :rofl:
 
LOOKS GOOD TO ME, IM TRYING TO DROP MINE LIKE 2 INCHES OFF THE BACK BUT HAVENT HAD THE CHANCE.

if you measured the frame height from the ground with the Eibach springs the frame was level, I thought the same as you though when I put them in and measured the height of the frame on a flat surface.....it's the shape of the wheel opens that make it look lower in the back
 
I had an '85 SS that I used 2" Belltech drop spindles and 1.5" Suspension Techniques rear springs and it had a very slight rake to it. It definitely tucked the front tires a little and looked much better IMO.
