Lowered the front but the back....

I lowered the front the other day and I was gonna lower the back but then it got to dark outside. I was looking at it and i started to like the way it looked(Im not a fan of the sagging back end look). Should I do the back also. I lowered with eibach sportlines. What do you guys think? Is it ricey if i leave it like that?
I took a pick of my magnaflow oval that I got installed also it sounds great.

it doesnt look like you lowered at all. give it time to settle a bit and then take pix. id lower the back also just to keep the suspension the same stiffness. and also because the civic isnt a 70s muscle car. i know that was the look back then to raise the rear off the ground so the car looks like its about to pounce on you....but not the civic.

Take another pic of the whole side view. I can't tell from the angles from which the pictures were taken. But it looks good.

My exhaust is the same way. looks good and clean and sleeper.

for the springs, i had the problem of the back being to low so i bought these little wedge-type spacers at auto zone and rigged them to fit in between the springs. I thought the back was to low. I t raised about 1/2. basically right above the tire. looks nice and tight but its all coming in out in a week, coils all the way around with five lug, k20 and all. good luck

I have sportlines too and mine looks as low or lower than urs :P

I'd keep all springs the same, either all Eibach or all stock...
btw nice rims, im planning to get those in gunmetal w/ a polished lip ... I've seen a civic around town w/em they look sooo good when they're moving

always lower both ends of the car. It can make for dangerous handling if you dont. Also it will look much better once they settle. My b&G springs on my last car settled another .2 or .3 inches after a while.

let it settle longer....you'll notice your rear end is gonna stick up ready to get buttplugged. definately install the rear springs when you can.

dont forget, when u drive at night, your headlight beams are gonna point downward and not towards the road as much. dangerous...
