I've been looking at several lowering springs for Vibe and noticed that they lower the rear more than the front. Is there are reason that the specs for like that? The end result is fine from all the pics I see from this site.TIA

Do you know which springs? I have the Tein S-techs and they are lower in the front which makes sense. When you load up the trunk, it will have more verticle travel before it makes the rear look too low. Also, I think it just looks better with the front a little lower than the back when empty. Maybe it's not really noticeable, but I think it might look weird with the rear lower than the front.

If you lower the back more than the front it transfers some of the weight to the back. All front wheel drive cars and most cars in general, other than mid-engine cars are front heavy. If you put more weight on the back the handling becomes more neutral. With adjustable coil-overs you can play with the adjustments to achieve the best handling possible. If you mess it up the handling can become horrible.
