I have a 2006 civic, with the factory body kit , i've installed some 18" rim and tyres however the back of the car is significantly higher than the front. If i were to lower the back only will this cause the vehicle's alignment to be off?

lowering the back alone shouldnt cause the alignment to be off. wat would cause out of alignment is how low u drop the back..

i have the 2001 model, and it's like 3 - 4 inches off the ground. its the worst with the trini roads.

if u drop the back u'll end up with a negative camber.

right now im looking to raise it back

it you dont want any problems use drop springs, but the ones i used on my 2007 civic did not lower it at all, so i used another spring for another car and then my bearings went bad, then the camber in the back was off rel bad, had to buy 20" tires every two months. u will need a camber kit.
