it will affect handling. if you leave the back of the car up more than the front you will be putting a higher percentage of the cars weight on the front tires. you will make your back end 'loose.'

with the front lowered more like types said you'll have more weight distribution in the front resulting in more traction for the front wheels due to the weight. idno how the higher rear would perform though.

edit: raw i think that's what the op means, i mean who would drop the left side more than the right or vice versa? ya know? lol..

yes i was meaning with the back a little high or much more.. i have an 5th gen and i have tried the uneven and the even drops...even a little more over steer and when shift the front jumps to high causing the car to stall...uneven seems to handle better with fast turns.etc..and when shift it seems to help the rpm not drop as quickly and the car doesnt stall....by stall i mean when you shift really hard and the car seems to jump and for that split second slow down more..i dont want nothin bad some just need some advice on which way i should go and some cons?

Whatever works best for you is what you should use. That's one of the benefits of an adjustable suspension, you can use the settings that best suit your driving style.

I can't imagine there would be any cons to having the rear end higher, other than looks I guess.

back when i had the front lower, it did have better front end traction but the rear was loose. you could tell on the track, the rear end was really loose and would push out around corners. even on the drag strip you could feel it get a bit loose towards the top.

you could feel it sway and shift around, not very much. but its still not solid like i would like it.
