Lowering front only? (6th gen)

Hey guys I was just wondering what your thoughts are on only dropping the front of the car? How many ppl here actually done it? The thing is I really like the way the back is sitting and i like the soft luxurious feel of the suspention. If i drop the front by itself how will it affect my ride? Any thoughts? Recomendations? Suggestions?

I ran mine with only the front dropped for a while, it was fine...then I wanted that extra tuck in the rear later on so I put them in...

I also did the front only, but with coilovers. the ride sucked @ss. I really needed to install the whole set.

you might be able to get away with it with springs, is really not recommended to do.

this is my set up:

I'm lowered in the front only with Eibachs/Koni's. The ride isn't the best, but I think it looks perfect. Even with a full car it looks perfect.

Looks are one thing, achieving the true potential of the design characteristics can only be achieved by installing a complete kit. It depends on your goal, looks or performance...

Hello there, I'm trying to get rid of the ugly gap at the front wheel, so, what is the best thing to do??? This is just for looks, maybe with springs (I was thinking PROGRESS....$200), and a question, springs,coils or coilovers are the same thing????
Do I need to replace the shocks too in order to lower the front suspention????
Can I get away replacing just springs??
Your comments of you perfect setup and a price range will be apreciate it.
Thanks.
