Default Help on CHOOSING COILOVERS

So i recently put tanabe gf210 series springs in my '05 4dr civic, the springs have a 1.5" drop in the back and 1.3" in the front. I was told that this would make my car level since the car was originally made for the back to sit slightly higher than the back. The problem i have right now is that it looks like i bottom out the back of my car, the back sits atleast an inch lower than the front. It looks as if the body line of the car is actually level, maybe its just the rear fender size that is make it look like the back is lower than the front? anyways it just doesnt look like the car is sitting right, so im planning on getting a full coilover kit, and i was thinking about the OMNIPOWER dont know how those ones are any suggestions??

people swear by omni suspension, but i think its all hype. once they heat up under harsh cornering such as auto x then then get sloppy. they're fine as long as you dont auto cross with them. but about your drop, the front fenders on honda's are cut higher than the rears
