I have a 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5 and as most of you know, the front is jacked up fairly high compared to the back. I recently put on some 18"s and the front and back height is even more noticeably different. I was wondering if I could just put in a 1.4" spring in the front only and not in the back? Would my stock struts be able to handle a 1.4" drop and how would the overall drive be since the stiffness will be different in the front compared to the back?

Dont mix stock springs with after market springs, the ride quality will be noticeable. Either do it right or not at all imo
