Default Lowering 98 Accord

Hi. I'm lowering my 98 Accord. About to order the Eibach Sportline Springs.

Question...

If I lower my car 2.2 inches, will it look like my car is higher in front? Because if so, I'll buy different springs. Ones that don't go so low in back. Just curious as to your experiences with lowering/looks/raised in front look, because i don't want that.

I have sportlines on my 01 and they lower 2" all around not 2.2". Its the perfect drop for me.

agreed. you shouldn't judge how level your car is by wheel gap, but by if the sides of the car (ie, sideskirts) are parallel to the ground.

sportlines are
