Default lowering springs

is it better to evenly lower the front a rear or is it better to lower the rear a little bit more.

if you lower the front 1 inch.. then lower the rear 1 inch..
if you lower the front 3 inches.. then lower the rear 3 inches..

lowering the rear lower then the front or the front lower then the rear will ruin the ballance of the suspension...

If you've ever had coilovers, you know that setting then at the same level of ride height will always result in the front being lower than the rear, as with most lowering spring kit. I like the front to be a 1/2" lower than the rear.
