It seems like most of the lowering springs dump the back, but barely lower the front. Im looking for a spring that gives a move level look. The springs would be paired with the koni externally adjustable struts.

Thanks for the help..

The springs are designed to improve handling, which is why they dump the rear a little more (to get closer to correct weight distribution).

It just looks that way because the rear fenders aren't cut as high. The front fenders have a larger opening to allow for the turning of the tire under steering. You actually need to lower the front more than the rear if you want the same amount of tire underneath the fender.

Take a look here how much higher the front fender opening is above the black trim compared to the rear:
