Post lowered car need help!!

I installed the sportsline spring kit on my 02 z28, it lowered it 2 inches. Didn't like the way it looked, so I changed them out with the proline spring kit. It raised the front 1/2 a inch but didn't raise the back at all!! Now the car look's level if not higher in the front. What can I do to raise the back 1/2 inch.Guys,need some help on this!!! THanks.Pat

The stock shocks are not strong enough, try some Bilsteins and watch her rise. How do I know this? I did the same thing you did, changed the springs without changing to a stiffer shock. Now my car handles the way it always should have.
