H&R are very good. A friend has these teamed up with the Bilstein kit and they are superb!!

You want the front a little lower than the rear. Looking at the chassis, not the arches.

The front is higher looking at the arches. The dampers are good.

That is normal for a standard car, the chassis is usually flat to slightly nose down. The tyre/arch gap also depends on the size of tyre quite a bit.

canceled the 40mm H&R and bought Eibach 30mm. And will try lowering from 20mm on the rear. Thanks for the help.

The Eibach springs look better and stronger.
