no worries, the back still sits a little high but put some weight in the back and it drops down pretty good, with full passengers the back looks like its slammed

coilovers replace your struts and springs and shocks. so its either you have;

1) coilovers
2) front: strut and spring, back: shock and spring

coilovers are better, but also way more expensive
