Put them on '85 n/a with 1/2" spacer in back - result is level but if look close there is a hint of rake (back higher) but have to look. At a glance, can scarcely tell the car is lowered (i.e. it does not look like kids civic) but the first time you lean over the engine bay to change oil you'll know, as it hits you on a different part of the thigh :o).
Biggest improv is roll - car noticeably flatter when zipping around corners (had roll bar a long time already). Really like the ride quality, though (obviously) need MUCH more damp shock than stock or will bounce all over creation. Have Koni's set full hard and like that but not in love w/ it. Note that the firmness of springs will also really reveal how much flex is in the tire sidewall (!). I have the air lift kit on rears because frequently haul heavy loads - I do keep ~10psi in it all the time because the back seems a little soft to me so that's another consideration.
