Default ride hieght and lowering question?

I just put some Enkei RS6 rims with 195/50/15s on my EG HB and I noticed that in the rear it filled out the wheel wells nicely ...

In the front it looks a bit high and I was wondering if anyone has just lowered the front so it looks like the back and what is your opinion on the following shocks/coil overs

thank you all

i've had similar coil overs on my car before. usually the spring ratings on them are high and if used with oem shocks, it will make you cringe every time you come across imperfections on the road and that lowered at 2 inches all around. I got fed up with it so i got shocks. Check the spring ratings on them if they say anything near F/R 500/400, those things will be stiff.

Depending on how low you set them it will determine how bouncy they are. You know what's really good on our year civics for the front? koni yellows aftermarket shocks. You can have them put on AND set the perch lower and it will drop your at the front 1.5 inches in the front, if you're looking to get shocks you can go that route.
