Default civic springs

I have a 98 ex and I already have KYB agxs with eiback springs but the back sits lower then the front so i was wondering what should i get to replace these? What is a decent set of spring to even my car up so that the front sits as low as the back?

I have the agx's with the tein s. techs it looks perfect but i think i wish i would of went with a more agressive spring. I wanted h&r but there race version i think is goign to be too low for me. I dont know about coilovers i just have never had a good experience with them. The agx warranty limits the drop to only 1.5 inches.

My rear sits almost at stock height with the front having about a finger gap. But that's because my hatch is completely gutted.

If you drop in an H22 that should lower the front end nicely.

first you have to relize that the front sits higher cuz its a front wheel drive car and it does this because it helps with the handling thats why theres a bigger gap on the back for rear wheel drive cars and the only way to fix it without doing something stupid is to get adjustable coilovers or have the spring on the frount cut but that could mess with your handleing so go with and adjustible suspention and put it where you want

Yeah it makes sense to have it somewhat higher... So how is the ride of coil overs?
