drop only the front side?

Today at work i saw a 350z lower only the front side . Im now wondering how does our maxe's look only lower on the front . Has anyone of you guys done it ? DO they only sell the front aftermarket struts or they only sell all 4 of them?

I have coilovers and I lowered the front more than the rear for a little more of an aggressive stance and I think it looks pretty good. Its noticeable that the front is lower but you cant get a really aggressive stance because you would need to go really really low to get the look and in-time the cv would wear so it wouldn’t be worth it. I think the rear definitely needs to be lowered to get rid of that huge wheel gap so it doesn’t give you too much to work with.

H&R front only drop. I dropped the rear later on and think it looks a lot better. I'm on stock struts for now and the ride is fine since it is a mild drop. There are some threads out there if you want to search back a ways.

if pic doesn't work it's cardomains fault.

depends on the springs used, its better to match the spring rates, if u dont u could have a max with funky(or even worse unpredictable) handling which could cause unwanted under or oversteer. and may lead to an accident in extreme circumstances.

throw on a set of maxspeeds up front and id think it would be fine, s-techs on the other hand i think would make it handle awkward.

i did the same thing as icelandmaxima. no regrets, the max looks awesopem witht he front end a lil lower then the back, looks like its ready to attack or soemthing, i juts added my rear spacers, now she looks really mean.
