Spring drop ?

I can't seem to find the answer to this question. I've done a ton of searching!

I want a slight drop...nothing too dramatic.

*TEIN H-Tech -1.5F/-1.0R
*H&R Sports -1.75F/-1.5R
*Tanabe NF210 -1.5F/-1.5R
*NEUSPEED Sports-1.75F/-1.75R

My question is there a benefit to having a greater drop in the front than the rear? I was just wondering why some companies make the drop even in both front and back like the Tanabe and NUSPEED, and others do a greater drop in the front like TEIN, H&R, and Eibach. Hmmm...I'm feeling like a noob here!

I think the reason some/most springs drop more in the front than the back is because the wheel gap is much greater in the front than in the back. For example, to get the same 2-finger drop for all 4 corners, it's necessary to drop the front more than the back.

Personally, I think the wheel gap in the back is tolerable when the car is stock, the front gap is so much larger it looks bad.

i think the reason why its drop more in the front is because after awhile everything will settle in and the front is not going to drop that much and the back will drop more then the front cause your going to have passengers and it will even out. the look
