Stance

measure from the ground up to the inside of the fender lip/ I believe its supposed to be 27.25 front, 27.5 rear. the rim to tire height difference may be influencing the view

Looks good. If it were me I would lower the rear 1/4'', take another pic, repeat, repeat, then post all pics here for opinions.

Yep, a little too low in front. Or a little too high in rear. Needs to be leveled off a bit in my opinion.

Same size tires as before?
If so, was the "stance" the same?
If not, what caused the difference?

Love the stance. It gives your car an aggressive look.

Raise the front 1". Pep Boys and other vendors have a kit that does not require new coil springs and a day's work. It should fit into the lower control arm coil spring recess....the coil spring rests on top of it.
