Question for lowering ONLY front end....

About to pull the trigger on some GR2's and Progress springs for the front only (I think the back is fine, and wouldn't care if the front ends up a little lower than the back).

My question is if I did this, would I need to adjust my headlights?? If so, how hard is it to do that?

That's interesting, I never thought of re-aiming headlights after lowering a car. How about drawing a line where the cut-off is, and then after lowering the front of your car, see if it needs to be adjusted? Obviously, you would need to make sure everything else is still the same such as location, the wall, etc.

If your lowering on progress you might as well just lower the back too it doesnt come down much at all and you shouldnt have to aim if you come down on all 4 corners but if you do fronts only you might plus you will get a floaty feel with fronts only i did then i put in rears and voila all gone and looks hott

Even if you lowered front and back with Progress or Eibach, you might want to adjust the headlights since the front is lowered more than the back.

For those who live in relatively flat land, you may not notice much difference. I noticed it the first night I drove down the not-so-well-lit part of the highway through a small valley, I couldn't see crap.

It's a pain to get them even; unless you have access to a clean wide wall at least 4 feet high with about a 40 feet of leveled distance from it.
