replace front springs only vs. all 4 springs

Has anyone ever just replaced the front springs in their suspension? I don't want the slammed look, and I don't want a saggy ***.

I was thinking that a very subtle 1" drop in the front, and stock rear ride height could look pretty good and handle and ride just like stock.

Any opinions?

Problem is finding springs that only drop the front 1"...there aren't any...Impul is the closest but they are grip.

Keep us posted on what you do though...

I read this:

"With Tanabe NF210 springs, the drop is 1 in the front and 1.3 in the rear"

or maybe eibach on the front?

It always seems like my rear is a decent height, but the front has a big gap. I think the G37 19's will fill out the rear a bit too, and make any extra height back there not so noticeable.

+1

it'll mess with your car's handling, you need to do both
unless somehow the spring rates are similar which i doubt since most after market spring rates are stiffer than stock, i don't know what G's rates are and the after market ones are, i think the sports version could be stiffer too...
