Default Eibach Pro-kit lowering spring question...

I have done my searching on this site and have a question regarding Eibach Pro-Kit springs. I keep hearing about this boat effect where the front end ends up being a little bit higher than the rear after installing the springs. However on all the sites selling this kit the specs indicate that the front is consistently lower than the rear after intalling the kit.

To be specific I have a 98 Hatch. Also, to confirm, ebay seems to be the cheapest for this set ($195.00). Anyone bought them cheaper?

Most Hondas sit that way from the factory. There`s just so much gap in the wheel well that you can`t tell. You can`t use the finger method to measure the ride height (one finger in the front blah blah) because it doesn`t factor in the rake of the vehicle. I would look for some pics, they are out there, just to be safe. If you want your car to look a certain way than try Ground Controls so you may dial in the ride height to your liking. You`d still be getting Eibach`s, just adjustable.

Our kit does lower the front more, but again, you have to factor in the rake of the vehicle. This does not mean the front sits lower if you are measuring with your fingers . You`ve got to measure center of hub to fender, not top of tire to fender.
