stock specks? 02 civic lx coupe
I got a question....... 
On an 02 civic coupe lx.....is the front always lower than the back? at stock.
if so, when i lower it, to keep all around hight eqaul, how many inches lowered in front and back to stay equal?
let say i wanna drop it about 1.5"

in general, the front should be lower because having the rear lower causes some handling issues. Ideally, if you change the suspension right (springs AND shocks) then it should be about even or the back a little higher. Some manufacturers sag a little in the rear, especially on sedans. If you do full coilovers then you can set the height to what you want.

Since no one knows where any of these spring makers measure the "drop" from, who knows what makes the car end up where. Look at the suspension pictures thread.
