Eibach Sportlines in the front, Prokit in the rear?
Well, as most of you long-timers should know, I tow a Jet ski and motorcycle occasionally with my car during the summer time.
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1977607
My Accord is 94 Accord LX 5spd.
I have my car lowered in the front on Eibach Sportlines with KYB AGX shocks with a camber kit.
I did not lower the rear because of budget reasons and I do not want to get the boat look when I start towing my jetski / motorcycle again. I was considering to leave the stock suspension in the rear to manage this, since it is already sagged in the rear and it doesnt look that bad with the front only lowered.
I do have the rear Sportline springs, however, with the front lowering 1.7 and the rear 1.6, I have read that this gives the boat look already, and with trailer sagging it more, I might be pretty much where I started off before with my stock suspension with my boat look.
Would I be able to install Eibach Prokit in the rear to make it a little bit more beefy, but still a better springs compared to stock? Will it firm up my rear?
Currently, my front is VERY predictable, but the rear is not as directional as the front.
What do you guys think of this idea? Are the spring rates incompatible? Would this give me what I am looking for?
Since the rear is going to be under more pressure from towing than the front, do you think I should get way better shocks for the rear other than KYB AGX?

Thinking about it now, that might have been better off in the first place, but I finally got my front nice. The rear isnt terrible, but it could go down maybe 1/2" more to be perfect from the current sagging point.
From all my readings on here, coilovers were not good unless they were Ground Controls, and thats way more money than my budget.
Is it possible to get a spacer to raise the rear sportlines up by about 1/4" or 1/8" or so? Has this ever been done? Would this cause any problems if I were to try something custom like this?
