droppin the front

Is it easy to lower just the front end?
What is your experience with handling, trac-control, ABS, ...?
I have too many fat friends to bring the back down.

I don't know the aerodynamic's of it, but weight distribution wise you will put extra weight on your front tires and your tires will wear twice as easily and roughly... def check out your max load on your tires before you seriously consider it... lookin at those sweet rims it doesn't look like a heck of a good idea...

LMAO!!!! Now that was funny. The only way you could do this right would be to buy an adjustable suspension. My front is lower than my rear, not by much but it is. As far a tire wear, the lower you go the worse off your camber is. Not much you can do unless you get camber kit, cusco, stillen..etc. You can always tell your friends to loose weight and lower the whole car....lol

not only would that look retarded it will kill your tires. Im not sure but it looks like you are running 18s...maybe 19s. If you lower your front only I will give you less than 1 year before you have to put new tires on it. It will throw your whole car out of wack. The car is RWD and traction would decrease significantly.

On the lighter side of things...I love that color g.

I lowered the front(only) of my X with coupe sport springs just to make the car sit level. The rear was lower than the front due to my stero setup. No problem yet and it's been about six months now.

Optional
I put lead weights in my side skirts to pull the car down. Pretty much lowered the whole thing evenly. Saved a ton of money on springs. Now I can afford those triple-chromed dubs. Well really they're 15's. But I'll keep 'em clean.
