Hey everyone I have a 2015 gt premium on lowering springs not exactly sure what kind but for some reason the rear is higher then the front on the front there is about a 1 finger gab from tire to fender but on the rear it’s about a two finger gap and a little room just wondering why this is and if the rear was installed improperly

Many lowering springs have a smaller drop in the rear than the front. This give the car a "raked" appearance that was popular on older muscle cars. My BMR lowering springs for example have a 1.25" drop in the front, and a .5" drop in the rear.

Are the front and rear tires different sizes? The "35" is the ratio, so a wider tire will have a taller sidewall.

305s in rear 275 in front 50 offset rear 35 in front
If your tire sizes are
F: 275/35/19
R: 305/35/19
then there is going to be a tire height difference, as you can see in the table below:

A slight rake still looks cool on an S550:
