Default 03 dc5 lowering springs

so just a quick question why do some lowering springs make the rear lower and some make the front lower? which is better for handling? and i know the whole thing about going lower than one inch, im just asking is raking better than *** sagging? are neuspeed and progressive decent brands or comparable to eibach?

I'm rocking Eibach springs. I had eibach on both my DC2 and DC5.

For me, I would rather have the front a little lower and the rear a little high. That way there is more weight distributed towards the front to help with traction.

i also had eibach sportlines on an eg civic, but i heard having the front in a dc5 is much better for handling so wouldnt teins springs be better because they are like .2 inches lower in the front where as eibachs are about .2 inches lower in the rear?

it may be because of how high these cars sit in the rear, my tein's installed lowered the front more than the rear, not sure what they claim but i decent drop, not too low that speedbumps are a problem, but definitely a more aggressive stance
