The Pro Kit offers less of a drop. Probably should have bought them.

yup that's what its supposed to look like. sportlines for civic's and integra's usually drop equal front and rear. so the result is usually front higher than rear. those springs are great for daily driving.

It is kind of hard for me to compare, but my friends car seemed to be a little lower then your car is. However without them both in front of me I cant be 100% sure.

But I have a question for you, what in the hell happend to that bumper?

Did you loosen all suspension bolts, jack up the suspension on each corner to put a load on it, and then torque all bolts to spec with the suspension loaded? I'm betting no...

Do that and it may actually make the car sit a touch lower, and will also keep your bushing from tearing, assuming they're still rubber.

Loosen ALL suspension bolts that pass through bushings that rotate/flex as the suspension moves up and down. This includes all UCA, LCA, and toe compensator arm bushing bolts.

Jack up the suspension on each corner until that corner just barely comes off the jack stand. This doesn't fully translate to ride height (it actually works better if you disconnect the sway bars) but it's close enough for gub'ment work. Then tighten all bolts on that corner to spec while the suspension is loaded.

This is the method to use if you can't get access to the bolts underneath the car while the car is actually sitting on its own wheels. Obviously a 4-post runway-type lift or alignment rack would be a better place to do it.
