Just do a search (link in upper right hand corner) and you should find a bunch of stuff on this and that suspension setup along with people's opinions and pictures.

you will probably need more drop than that cause i have H&R sport springs and 18s with 225/ 40 tires and it is lowered tright to the the tires and they are supposed to drop the car 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear and it is not really low enough in the front.

just remember v6 have a heavier front than back..
but go for neither on(h&r or eibach) and you will be happy.
eibach

I droped my 2000 accord with cheep *** aerospeed coilovers. It takes care of the wheel gap and the ride isn't bad.

02 accord coupe just got it this June.
I wont go for anything except eibach, H&R, tein....
no aerospeed or any other ebay junk on my ride.
1.5 is a very safe drop that take away most of the unwanted wheel gap
(a must if you have 17inch or + imo)
again..i have my exhaust and header unharmed even in LA...
sportline is little bit lower but with 2 inch drop you may have camber wear issue..

i dont know about different front and rear...it will not give you a
smooth ride..
