I saw a picture of me going through a turn and the inside rear wheel was 4-5 inches off the ground. It is a tight turn (Sebring/hairpin) but doesn't have any big bumps. Is this an indication of a poor setup on my car?

FWD lifting rear wheel... Bad??

No. It's an indication of a FWD setup.

And soft front springs.

Not really. I've run 1300# front springs on the Integra and still lift the rear tire. That's because I was running 2000# rear springs and a solid rear bar (no, not any more).
FWD race cars will lift the rear tire, regardless of front spring rate. It's normal.

It's nothing to worry about. You want those front tires on the ground all the time. You just need one (outside) rear tire on the ground at some point.

Not sure you can "tune" the rear lift without adversely affecting something else.
