Ok....sorry if this is a stupid question! flame me if you must but have you ever heard of anyone just purchasing the front springs from any company and only lowering the front of our sedans? i think the back stock drop is fine especially if im throwing 19s or maybe even 20s on!!!

any input?

You can do that if you want for massive acceleration in straight lines and sucky handling in the rear lol

i was kinda thinking the same. because the back always looks lowered on mine cuz of the ridiculous wieght of the subs in the back. anymore lowering in the back would cause issues. but the front looks like a damn SUV

I ran front Eibachs for a week without any issues. The front had less gap than the stock rears at that point.

Adding the rear springs barely affected the gap from stock but it did even the gap between f&r, and also made the handling tighter and more responsive. Your choices are very limited (Eibach and H&R) and I've only seen the springs sold as a complete set of f&r.

I noticed the same with my sedan before lowering. Now with eibach springs, the car is well balanced. The rear and front are looking much better. Eibach springs are stiffer and hold up the car pretty well.

yea, but i feel like if i lower the back also there will be rubbing. Ill take a pic of my car in a second and post it up so you can see what im talking about. With 100+lbs in the trunk and usually friends in the back. It makes me so nervous.

Here is the side view of the car. Notice the back sags heavily compared to the frontHere is the back wheel gap. I used the I-Key cuz we all know the size. Here is the front wheel gap. It is probably double that of the back!!
