Just as the Title says, I have a friend that swears that with my drop, my rear sits lower than the front. I have a 94 accord and did the drop with the 1.25" tokico setup. I think it looks perfect but just wanted to see if he acutally knows what he is looking at and talking about. Thanks in advance.

usually.. with most applications.. on accords (or most Front-engine vehicles).. the front sits lower than the rear.... if you really want to find out.. just measure the tire from the top of the wheel well..

normally the springs are set to give the front a little more suspension travel because of the engine making the front much heavier than the rear.

you have that backwards

the front has more ground clearance and more fender gap to clear bumps to protect the drivetrain

I understand.. initially.. on a stock vehicle, the front does sit a tad bit higher.. thats why, with most applications.. the front should be lowered a bit more.. my Tein's lowered the front like .5" more. Thus, leveling out the balance of the car.

P.S - id rather have the front lower than the back..
