Default Is it ok to lower tha rears only?

Im on stock springs and i would like to lower the rears with Eibach springs on my AGX shocks. I don't want to lower the front, because it's already low with my bodykit. The rear look really awful from the 4 inche's wheel gap

Is it good to do this ? is it gonna affect how my car handles.?

thanks in advance.

think about it like this, your car LOOKS uneven now because you have a huge front lip, but if you lower the back, your car actually WILL be uneven. i just wouldnt do it

oh and wouldnt it increase the odds of wheel hop and create a loss of traction because all the weight shifts to the back? im not sure but thats what i would think.

If you just lower the rear, you're going to mess up your caster. It'll be "too" positive....so, your steering will definately be affected. And i'm damn sure you won't like it. Just get some kinda of coilovers - adjust it to your needs, but do it evenly. Or get bigger wheels

theoretically, it should cut down on wheel hop, a stiffer rear should help to hold the front down therefore gaining traction

lowering the rear only gross

on that note, big body kits
