Post suspension help and ideas.

alright first off i drive a 2000 accord coupe i4 5 speed. i got new tires and wheels put on (215/45/17) and i have this 4x4 look goin on and i hate it. i want to lower it about 1.5-2" i was thinking eibach pro kit or sport line. my front wheel gap is 3" big . my back gap is about 2.5" see the problem? im guessing the differences is because i have alot of stuff in my trunk (2 12" subs in fiberglass enclosure, lots of jackets and sweaters ect..) when i lower my car will the added weight still make my back look lower then the front? i would really not like to have this. and btw the sticky suspension thread is awesome and everyone should read it thoroughly answered tons of my questions and helped me pick out parts. my main question is witch will look better the 2" or 1.5"? any help and pics would be appreciated and yes i looked on the internet for pics and what not, still couldn't find much of anything as for pics, and would it do any weird rubbing?

I like this. it is lower and more aggressive looking without tucking (which is stupid if you car about how your car handles) I'm pretty sure those are "Sprint Lowering Springs".

If you want to set it at best height...you can get coil-overs and adjust them at any where's from 0" to 4" and test drive them where they feel the best and look the best...

alright thank you guys for the quick responses, dont get me wrong i would love to have some good quality coilovers, but thats a lil out of my price range, i am lookin at around 600-700 bucks, im not sure of any good ones out there for that price. so unless i can find good quality coilovers ina few days i think ima go with the 1.5".

Yeah that's about a finger in the pic. It's not sitting level neither b/c it's sitting in the dirt. Us country folk don't have paved driveways lol
