Default Dropping your lude front-vs-back

Just wanna know If any of you guys lower your cars more or less in the front versus in the back. I got a 5th gen, and I am leaving the front higher by .5" than the back. Will this cause any difficulty???

my 4th gen is dropped a little over .25 more in the front than the back. It looks MUCH better, and other springs w/ equal drops all around tend to make the front look a bit higher. Not sure that it would hurt handling, but it'll look goofy to have the front high.

from what i've read, in terms of launching it is ideal to keep the rear higher than the front. something about weight transfer... anyone know more on this?

higher helps, but stiffer is what you want; it helps prevent the rear from squatting, keeping the weight on the front driving wheels.

ok so lower in the front huh..........the problem here is that it might start to bottom out the body kit. How much lower you guys go in the front vs the back????

if your using lowering springs, you will notice that they usually differ in drop hight. i think its about .25-.5... the springs usually lower the front slightly more.

They sure as hell better work! I can't even lower my car until I get new shocks! At least I made an effort to do something to my car Ryan!
