Question about my drop
I just lowered by car by 2". I had the rear camber kit installed and everything seems fine. In the back I have about 1 finger gap between the tire and the fender. However, in the front I have like a 2 finger gap between the tire and the fender. Any ideas why that might be? I'm gonna have the suspension place that installed the rear lowering springs and camber kit look at it, but I just wanted to see if you guys had any input.

I have dropzone springs part number DZ1013. They are supposed to be a 2" drop both front and rear. And I know lots of people saw stuff about how they dropzone suck for like handling and ride quality but suprisingly the ride isn't bouncy except over really large bumps and the handling is quite good.
i own a 4dr and have the same problem...i have eibach sportlines, and they are uneven... it was installed by a professional... eibach says it is sopose to be a 1.4" drop but the front is like a 1.75" and the rear is like a 2" in reality... i called eibach and they said that the civic has a weird bodyline so the rear will drop more. i'm going to get some adjustable for the rear and lift it a little higher to make it even...
good luck

I need help. My drop is the opposite of everyone's car. The front has about a finger gap but the rear does not seem like it dropped 2". It seems like like half an inch drop. And yes, I am using the Dropzone springs. 2003 Civic Coupe.

As for the uneveness, the problem might be the fact that Eibach doesn't differentiate between coupe springs and sedan springs. Other companies do and make their sedan springs to drop less in the back, so that it comes out even. Then again, I got Sportlines and my car doesn't seem noticeably uneven. It might be because I don't got a heavy system back there though. Do you? Maybe that's why your rear is lower.
The only thing I can think of to correct the unevenness is to get Koni Yellows and adjust the height to the higher setting in back. *shrugs*
