hey everybody - "long time viewer, first time poster" :D
I've had my pro-kit on factory struts for a lil over 2 years, my car doesn't seem to sit the same as others with the same drop. :( I like the rear gap, but I have a four finger gap up front which seems like a lot to me. Is this normal for the pro-kit or no?

All 4th gen's SEEM to sit higher in front then in the rear because of the fenders design. That's why other spring manufactures make the springs for example 2.2" in front and 1.8" in the rear so that the car will appear to be even.
It's normal for your car to be higher in front esspeically on Pro-Kit's.
My car on Pro-Kit's and Koni Yellows sits about 3.5 to 4 finger gap in front and 3 finger gap in the rear. Sounds high but when parked next to a stock 4th gen the difference is obvious.
That's another reason why I like them. They aren't so low I can fit anywhere but they help out the cars handleing greatly. Plus it adds to my "sleeper" look.
I would love to have my Car on some Nuespeed race's or something Tein that would make it lower but the roads here would really destroy the car. Who knows maybe one day I'll switch.

most peeps go with koni yellow struts w/eibach prokits and i've been told the koni yellows are height adjustable so you can get even lower than just what the springs drop them too.
have you checked this out Busted? or was I told something way off here?

Thats true. With koni yellows you are able to adjust ride height a tad.

I found this out through illycut, cuz he has that exact combo setup & I've seen how his car sits & I like that ride height. He's the one with Velox VX-6R, the rims I want & maroon body color like cokinut.

They are all the way up in the rear and all the way down in the front. The difference is only a .5" up or down so it really isn't much.

Well maybe something is wrong with my suspension, but my accord rides higher in the back than the front...
