Altering ride height

[TypeRPersonality]

First off, I have a 00 Civic EX with Tokico, Eibach, and camber kit. The ride is good but I want the front to appear more dropped. What ways could I raise the rear or drop the front? I do not want to cut the front springs.

You'll have to get differen't springs. If those are tokico illuminas the factory valving on the shocks are a good match with with springrates of H&R race/sport springs.

H&R race will lower your car more in the front and give an agressive stance.

did you just apply the springs? they take about a period of 3 months for them to fully "Break" or "Settle" in , your car will appear more dropped then...

No, I've had the springs on for over half a year. I just recently installed my Tokico HP's. From the reviews I read, the Tokicos would raise the rear by about half an inch. My ride height appears the same after installing the shocks. I might just get Ground Control front coilovers if I can't any other way. Don't really want to switch from Eibach.

Miata forum reviews. Many members there were ranting about how the Tokico HP's raised the rear by about half an inch, I was hoping it would do the same for me, since my rear appears lower than the front. Might be because of the subwoofer though.

Shocks don't support the weight of a car, the springs do...therefore springs determine the height of the car -- shocks controls dampening & rebound for the spring.

Yes, raise the rear a tad and lower the front if you can bro. It alwase the back that seens low alwase. Just paly around with your coils

ADJ coilovers or air bags

what if the area of the shock where the spring sits is lower?

Hrmm....now that is a good point, if the spring perch is differant than it would be differant height. You win

I have Tokico Illuminas with Ground Control springs and I like it a lot. IMO (and biased IMO) go for that.
