On most Hondas the rear wheel well arch isnt cut as high up as the front one...measure it some time! A lot of spring kits drop the front more than the rear to even the look out...

damn....you musta seen my car(silver 4dr civic). hahhahaha!!! I think it has to do with the springs. I'm running tokico blue shocks with Tein S-tech springs. The *** end of my car sits at least 3/4 of an inch lower than the front. Once i get the money, I'm probably gonna try to round up some ground control coilovers.

In my case it has to do with coupe springs on a sedan and also a stereo that will weigh down the back

thats awful, I agree on that. I wouldnt do that either. I have a coupe. I would say the rear end is 1/4-/2" lower, but not that off. It is still pretty even, look at the sideskirts being parallel to the ground

Your gonna love those shocks. Very very smooth on nice roads, adn the freeway is awesome! Just go slow on rough potholey roads and avoid every bump you see. But you will love them for sure. They are stiff at first, but only get a little stiffer, they didnt really loosen up on mine. I thought they would after a few days, but was the opposite.
