Lowering Car...only front

Quick Question...may be stupid though

I hate how my 98 max sits higher in the front then back.

Can I just lower the front and leave the back alone? I do alot of driving for my job and weigh down the trunk alot with samples.

Is it safe? Has anyone done it?

Just want to get rid of the ugly gap in teh front...the back does not bug me so much.

I tried it a couple of days ago. Didn't notice any difference in the handling, but it depends on what springs you have. If your front and rear springs are very different in terms of stiffness, you will notice a difference.

Re: Re: Lowering Car...only front

I had sprints/koni on the front and OEM in the rear for a week because i didn't have time to do the job in one weekend. When you go around corners at medium to high speeds, it feels like the rear is going to fly out on you. It felt very unsafe.

Here are some pics for a good laugh:
