On a Civic for example.

H & R will lower it 1.75F/1.5R.

Ebach will lower it 1.8 on all four.

The Ebach springs will keep weight distribution the same as stock.

Will H & R change the weight distribution by being slightly lower up front, effect performance? In theory.

Now in reality, does it make a difference?

 

In reality not much difference at all. The center of gravity may change a little bit (less than 1").

The roll axis will have a steeper inclination from back to front with the H&R's and depending on the spring rates, tire pressures, roll bars.....the rest of your suspension you will encourage understeer at corner entry and mid corner. And like Willard said your roll center per axel will be lowered.

simple english please.

 

Simple english, take the time to invest in a good suspension book and read about what lower ride height in the front will do to your handling balance. The book should also define roll axis and roll centre for you. You asked a complicated question so expect a some what complex answer.
