Spring Question

I am considering putting a set of springs on the car. It seems most people are pretty happy with H&R's. My concern is a drop in the rear. I don't want the rear any lower, but would like to drop the front. Anyone buy them and just change the fronts? Not sure why you would want the rear any lower (can't see how you could possibly lower it any more without rubbing). Would like opinions. Here are my pics

Are you running spacers? How much of a drop are the H&R's? The swift springs i recently put on are a modest .75 inch in the rear.

For the sake of practicality and performance, I'd prefer the Eibach Pro Kit with front E36 bump stops.

You retain travel and its a modest drop.
