Last year I had my rearend completely rebuilt pumpkin to lug nuts including the suspension.  I then moth balled the car.  My rear top of tire to bottom of fender lip seems perfect.  My front clearence seems about 1 - 1.5 inches lower.  Is this normal?   I have fresh shocks all around, the car rides and handles great with out issue.  I just wanted to make sure the springs up front are ok..  Thoughts?  Thanks!

Kevin, dig thru THIS thread on a similar situation. It might help.

What size tires do you have, and are they the same frt & rear? Also, if they replaced the rear spring when they did the rest of the rear, it might be just a bit higher than the front for a while, and it may settle more as you drive it.
