Camber wouldn't make it more slammed.

Which H&R springs do you have? The H&R race springs are pretty low.

Any pics of your car so we can see what you are talking about?

Struts can lower a car. I know Konis have adjustable perches so you can raise/lower where the bottom of the sprint sits.

That's what I had for my Neuspeed Race springs. The longer springs went in the front and the shorter ones went in the back.

I know that....

As far as I remember the way Neuspeed made their lowering springs, they look like OEM springs (same amount of coil, just closer together) so that the fronts wouldn't be confused for the rears.

Well this is the front supsension


This is the rear suspension


Don't know if that helped...

I guess the way you could differentiate is that the coils for the rear slightly taper at the bottom where as the front springs remain the same diameter throughout the entire body of the spring.

Also, as was mentioned earlier, maybe in another post, the front coils are also thicker than the ones in the back.
