how low is my car?
I recently installed coil-overs, and from the ground to the top of fender lip is 24.5 inches. Like an idiot, I failed to measure it before hand. Can someone tell how low my car is, or atleast a way to find out?
[ Edit: I found out that the stock front height is 25.5" and the stock rear height is 26.375". So that means I dropped my car 1" in the front and 1.875" in the back. It looks so low, I don't know how people get away with lowering 2-3".]
THanx...

On the scale of idiot things, your mistake was pretty tame. After all, there is always a stock civic at the dealership. They must have thought I was crazy until they recognized me as a previous customer and I explained what I was doing.
You going to Daytona Beach for the Import Showoff?

Does it matter if the rear is the same height as the front, or should it be higher? There was probably a reason why honda had the rear so high up in the air, but then again, it was probably a lame one...like customer comfort level...
[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Same idiot situation here too, as far as the rear being higher? I dont know what its for but it looks crappy to me. Mine is a slight bit higher in the rear. Im hoping it settles to even it out but if not its good where it is at. I can live with it. What looks really crappy is when the rear is loweer than the front....
