Well I do know that the rear is slightly lower then the front. Not sure why a lot of cars like ours do this, because imo it causes more dip and I think they should be the same height all the way around. Well anyways. My new system is kinda making my rear sink a decent amount and my front being higher kinda looks... retarded. Its like the engine is just not heavy at all compared.


SO has anyone just lowered the front springs on our cars? I don't wanna do everything because if I were to drop my car. I have to do it right and me doing things right is very expensive and I would need to get rims and smaller tires and well I can't afford all that. So I just wanna see what I can do to make the front look just a little more even to the rear.

 

Just get some aftermarket struts (depending on the drop) and springs. It'll be fine if you only lower the front and I'm sure plenty of people have done it.

 

or maybe the struts in the rear of our cars are very small compared the to fronts? o_O

if you want to do anything. i'm go with the whole 9 yards. replace them with aftermarket ones. Save up.

 

I've dropped a 5th gen, front only with H&R's. I was suprised at how well it rode. The reason only the front was lowered was because of weight in the rear caused by a small trailer frequently towed. The rear of a 5th gen doesn't sit as high as our 4th gens do.
The car looked great, with a slight rake twards the front with no load in the rear.

With that in mind, you can drop only the front of your car, you should be fine.

 

There are a million ways to skin a cat. For me running Konis on the upper perch (tow setting) out back makes all the difference.

Yes you can slap in some springs up front, but remember stiffer front end means more understeer.

 

im planning on doing the same in the near future when im a little more financially set i hate how it sits now.

 

I got 2 12's and a **** load of tools in the trunk of my Max and i know EXACTLY what ur talken about. the max looks low in the and front looks raised way to much.


My plan to fix this is, im gonna get a torch and heat only my front springs up a little for the front end to go lower and even it out. it wont bounce either.

 

i had eibachs front and back but the weight of my trunk made the back way too low in comparison. i put the factory springs back in the back and was surprised how even it looked. i had illuminas btw

 

if you only lower your front, not will it only look really really funny, but the car would loose complete balance.
The front will be heavy which will worsen your handling and the rear would want to kick out and feel extremely loose.
I do not recommend doing it.
Wait until you have the money and do it once, do it right.

 

makes alot of sense.
