05 accord coupe????

the car has 18" wheels. i want to lower about 1.5" and the fender gap in the front is about 3" and 2" in the rear with stock suspention. i want the fender gap at about an inch after lowering which means that i need 2" drop in the front and 1" in the rear. all the springs i've looked at the drop is almost the same front and rear. ie.. h&r 1.5"F and 1.3"R. that might be a decent drop but it won't be even front and rear. The sportlines are a little better with 1.9"F and 1.4"R. that would leave the gap a little closer front and rear. but i read that the sportlines suck. is that true. does any one know how to deal with this problem????????

You could send a lil extra dough and get adjustable coilovers. Its a way better investment imo

You dont want the car to be level, the rear should always sit a tad higher. Most springs on the market are designed for perfomance. If you want a level car go with sleeves. If you go this way spend the money and do it right the first time.
