Default HELP ME Drop My Car

I have a 2000 4 dr 4 cyl accord with OEM struts/shocks and Sprint Springs. The ride is great but the drop isn't. The specs on the springs are for a 2.25 " drop but the back is a 2 finger gap and the front is like a 4. Will shocks change that or could the springs be put in wrong, cuz it looks funny. please help

the front wheel well is a bit bigger than the rear on 6th gens. You don't happen to have a whole bunch of stuff in your trunk weighing down the back do yah? If the springs were installed backwards (small springs in back and bigger springs in the front) then it may look that way. it wouldn't hurt to take off the front wheels put the accord on jack stands in the front and loosen the bolt holding the bottom of the strut and jack the control arm up until it starts to compress the strut then tighten the bolt.

that will make sure your strut is installed right. Who installed your drop?
