car sets higher in front

The rear of my car is lower than the front, why? I have tokico illuminas(whatever there called) and H&R springs. The car has been setting for 5 months with out a motor, trany or drive shaft. Well all that stuff on back on the car and its still lower in the rear. Do I just need to drive the car and let the shocks and springs compress some or what? is about 3/4 inch high in front if that helps, and yes its noticable

Are the springs installed correctly? The fronts should be the shorter springs.

If you have not even backed the car out of the driveway the car has not settled yet. When you jack a car up and then lower it the tires scrub on the surface and prevent the ride height from returning to normal until the car gets to move around. Just run it up and down the driveway once and then check.
