Eiback Pro Kit-1992-1995 Civic
Who has the pro kit on a 92-95 Civic, preferably a hatchback?? I aw on Eibacks web site that they lower the car 1.6 in front and 1.3 in the rear. I know 3 tenths of an inch isn't much, but it seems that when they quote one end being higher than the other........it's REALLY noticeable. My girlfriend has H&R's on her Del Dol and the front is drastically lower than the rear. And I believe H&R quoted the same drop 1.6F and 1.3R. People with the Eibachs let me know how they fit for you. Some pictures would be really helpful too. Thanks!
I had Pro Kits on my 92 VX and I didn't like them at all. They were too soft and didn't drop it enough for my tastes. They rode really smooth, very close to stock. If you want something that will really increase your handling then get a slightly stiffer set of springs.
About the height in the front and rear, you'll notice that most manufactures have a difference of about .25" more in the front. I read somewhere that the Civic's have a slightly bigger wheel gap in the front and this evens them out. I'm not sure if it's true but I read it somewhere.

Pics of my car
Yes I was barefoot and it was cold!
No rubbing and I'm using stock shocks (150K!) for now.
I like the ProKits that I have, only paid $75 for used (10k miles),

Higher in back??? That's opposite from my experience with Prokits. My Civic is a 6G hatch, but it's not very different in terms of suspension or weight distribution, and the springs are identical. The fender gaps were pretty much dead even, but even fender gaps actually make the back end look a little lower.
The drop was nice. Enough to fill up the wheel wells some, but not enough to cause bad tire wear. Here's a bit of trivia most people don't know about Prokits. They're stiffer than Eibach Sportlines OR Neuspeed Sport Springs (about 15 lbs f/r). They are plenty stiff for spirited driving, especially when combined with a good set of sway bars. Go any higher with the spring rates and you begin to seriously compromise ride quality. IMO, they're some of the best springs out there for someone looking to make mild changes to their Civic, as well as achieve tighter handling. BTW, Prokits look really nice on a Civic Si.

I think I was standing up more when I took the front pic.
Grass was frosted over and I was barefoot!
BTW, correct on the Pro's being stiffer than Sport's.
Everyone will try to argue the other way though

are the sports progressive? thats the only reason there stiffer (prokit). i had them on a del sol and the back end was lower than the front after it settled. it handled good though with no sway bars 4 strut bars and agx's
