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.

Eww!

The celica is already front heavy, looks ugly in the rear with the ass high up in the air.

Best view should be from behind, cause that's all anyone else ever sees wink.gif


to each his own i guess. I like the "nose down" stance. Not everypone's gonna be a fan.

on a FWD you want the front soft and the rear stiff so that you reduce under-steer/induce over-steer, lowering the front will probably make the front stiffer and the rear will be unchanged increasing under-steer.



It's a daily driver. I wont be doing any racing whatsoever and it barely goes past 60 mph. from what everyone that's done it is saying they had no problem so i should be ok too.

hairy chuff just be careful in the wet, on a standard set up these cars under-steer quite badly when the damp stuff hits.
