why would you just want the front low? you could just get a set of springs and install only the fronts.

and theres always coilovers, you can adjust the height to how ever you want it.

or you could just install a set of comptech springs or eibach pro kits. they leave the front slightly lower than the back.

your car would handle weird.

and yes your front shocks would wear faster.

Why not just lower both?

A: it will look better if the rear and front are lowered.
B: Your car will handle better with both being the same.
C: You will have uneven wear on your struts, and probally tires depending on if you need an alignment
