Default I want a more even drop...but still low. What to do?

Right now I have Neuspeed Sport springs on Bilstein shocks. In the front, the drop is perfect. Just about even with the fender lips. But it's jacked up in the back, sometimes I think it looks funny.

Here's a pic:


Does it look funny, or is it just me? Would sportlines give me what I want? I've seen a few pics of a Red Hatch with sportlines, rolling on Rota SS's (black) and the drop looked pretty even. I really just want the back lower!

Thanks -

Alex

It's really all up to you, after I've seen my car dropped I love it. I can fit two fingers high above every tire. Ground Control Coil-overs.

I'd recommend coilovers if you want an even drop front to back. Most spring sets will lower the front more then the back. From my experience with friends who have had Skunk2 CO'S i hear they get bouncy when you go too low, but i used to have GC and they were nice and ive only heard positive coments about them.

a muffler shop did do the piping for my muffler...and as for the bounce factor...i think it has to do with the length of your wheel base more than anything else....when i had my prior crx's...**** was bouncy no matter what....and having switched over to a civic, life is a lot smoother....
