some guys like that look because when they picture it in their minds, it has that badass muscle car look to it. i think it'll look funny on our cars to be honest. i had to talk a buddy of mine out of doing it with his car. he went with the Pro Kit at all 4 corners.

it is really going to be hard to find staggard springs for your car.

your best bet honestly is to get coil overs in the rear and drop springs in the front.

that way you can adjust your rear end hight.

You can buy just front springs from Roush. I think summit sells them too. I dont have just the front lowered, but I do have 18's in the rear and 17's up front. I love the ass end just a lil bit higher.

Could just get the front springs ya want then find some for the rear that dont drop it as much, so its not as dramatic.

Thats different though. I think he want's the look of the old muscle cars, but for our cars, shit like that just don't look right. Anyway like I said though, if you like it Darkside, then do it. You don't have to listen to our opinions, were just giving you our thoughts on it, but it's your car, so do whatever you want.
