I installed the Tokico Illumina suspension kit on my 98 Civic EX and after all was said and done my front looks like it sits higher than the rear. I have attached a picture of what it looks like after the install. If anybody has any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help.

 

it's kinda high alright. did you use aftermarket springs?

nice rims tho...

 

I think the back looks higher. But it really does not matter because the wheels are too damn big. Anything begger than a 15" on a Honda destroys performance.

 

i agree witht he wheel size is killer...and yes the front is higher than the rear..what springs were used?

it does not destroy performance it changes your gear ratio the weight on the other hand might, i dont like big rims either but thats a misleading statement

this may sound stupid but if someone else put the springs in and didnt know what they were doing, is spring seated right in the "perch" on the strut

I didn't go with anything less than 17 because then I wouldof had to put a monster drop on it. Like I said I used Tokico springs.

springs are all seated the way they are suppose to be.

 

gotta ask, do you have subs i knew a guy with drop springs and had subs and his car sat like that from the added weight

nope still have the stock system in the car. spare tire is all I have in the trunk.

 

did you put the heavier spring in the back?

btw, did you roll your rear fender ? any tire rubbing ?
