Just Lowering Front End?

I think it might be a nice look on my 2K2 to drop just the front end an inch or so, to get rid of the wheel gap that is way worse in front than in back. Any ideas on this? Is it dangerous, stupid, awesome, whatever? Thanks in advance.

what spring are u going to use? eibach has the least drop rate and it's pretty low for me. It will look funny if u have the front eibach and rear stock.

and about your ride quality....imagining u have stiffer ride in the front and stock ride in the rear......I dun think once can stand this.

if u just want to drop a little....u have to cut the spring, which will bounce.


just go all the way, Maxspeed is only 95 dollars if money is an issue.

I thought about this too. You would want to only get the H&R for the front (minimal drop), or it will look really funny. But don't do it.

go with the maxspeeds. Look at my homepage and you will see the back drop was minimal and the front was respectable.

Actually

I have eibachs tokico blues in the front and stock
in the rear. (I did not finish last weekend, will put the rears this weekend)
It looks really nice having it slightly angled down.
as for the handling much improved. when I go over bumps, it feels smooth at first but when the rears
go over the bumps I can feel it more. this is a 2000 gxe suspension
