i bought the car with the sr in it and battery in the back, i just took out all the ac the other day. its been like that, the front is a lil higher than the back, its should be lower, and between the sr the battery and the ac you got almost 100 lbs

It shouldn't make a difference in the ride height. It didn't in my S14. Moved the battery out back and no A/C. Let the springs settle.

Stock: the wheel well space is greater in the front than the back on the S13s. My 93 240 looked like what you are describing and it was completely stock. It looked around an inch diff(it was noticable). I guess what I am trying to say is that the difference in space between tire and well(assuming that is what you are describing) is designed that way vs being a wt issue. Obviously diff springs/struts or coilovers would change that.
