even or uneven drop?

even or uneven drop?
so after reading ans seeing a lot of stock gs4, i noticed that they all have a larger front wheel gap than the rear. so i was wondering, along the different springs you guys use (l-tuned, l-sportline, h&r sport, eibach pro kits), are they all even drop, meaning it drops the same amount for both the front and the rear?
the reason i ask is if that's the case, that would mean when the rear wheel gap is gone, there would still be some gap in the front. but if the front is gone, the top part of the rear wheel would be inside the fender?
i always like to have almost no gap for both the front and the rear. for example on my tl-s, i got springs with more front drop than the rear, so now my car has a rake look, and the gaps for the front and rear are both the same.
help? i am more towards the l-tuned or the eibach pro kits with 19" later on, so i wanna start doing research

If you want a "no gap" look you are going to have to get coilovers. The H&Rs I have drop the car 1.4" front and 1.3" rear. This still leaves a 2 finger gap. The L-Tuned and Eiback both lower the car 1" all around leaving about a 2.5 finger gap.

Then save up your money and do it right. It's not going to kill you to not lower your car for a few months...but it's going to really suck when you spend $300 or so for springs and $100-$200 on the install and then to know DEEP DOWN INSIDE that it's not good enough and never will be...you will then eventually just spend the $1300 on real suspension anyways and then you'll have pay to have it installed...you might as well do it right the first time around.
