How are you measuring height?

The fender gap is larger in the front than the rear, because the front tires need to turn.

The car should be fairly level when measured from the side jack points.

The car also could have been used previously to carry heavy loads, wearing out (weakening) the rear springs.

I know in certain circles, dragging the *** is considered cool. Last time I was on the Bee Line in Florida, I saw tons of lowriders doing that ****. If you bought it like that, check to see if it has coilovers or cut springs. To find a completely unmodded civic is harder than finding an original Shelby Cobra abandoned, hidden in a barn, under a tarp...
