Adjusting the drop with Eibach Pro-kit

The specs (and the general consensus) on the Pro-kit indicate that it'll give you a 1.0in. F/1.2in. R drop in ride height. Some people have already said that the lower rear may look a little strange, but, really, the 0.2in. difference is negligible. However, my wagon(GF) already appears to be sagging a little more in the rear and if I install the Pro-kit, I'll only magnify the effect. And while I mostly care about the handling and not the looks, I'm still wondering if it's possible to somehow reduce the rear drop? Some sorts of spacers maybe?

You just have to decide if you want a less than perfect look (like Eibachs give) or less than optimal handling. Most Impreza suspension experts agree that the best drop is similar to what Eibach gives. Unfortunately, the cut of the fender wells causes the uneven appearance. There are springs that even it out if that's more important to you.
