Ok strange question as it might be. Is there any significant dangers to just lowering just the front of my car? Faster wear on other parts because only the front is lowered? I dont wanna lower the back cause i want a little bit of "nose down" look for the 6gc. Thanks in advance for the inputs.

when i got my st, only the front was lowered. mainly i think cos the previous owner needed to change the rear links(which i've done) to fit the rear springs.
as with anything you do with the susspension, the camber and toe may be out. best thing to do, before to take owt apart, try to mark everything. doesn't effect the handling in anyway, just makes the front a little more bumpy. and in theory, should help prevent understeer in corners with it keeping more weight forward |

I don't know if I will do the back. Karl 1 's theory seems correct and it is not very bumpy. . This post has been edited by xrav22: Feb 22, 2011 - 12:12 PM |
