Default 04 Lowering Springs

Could I just buy a spring pack and lower the front of the car and leave the back a bit higher? I want to give it more of a muscle look. Any help or comments would be nice. Thanks!

no i'm not really worried about handling. im not really the racing type. if it comes to that then i'll put the front ones on as well. i just like that look. either i do that or get higher rear tires...im not sure if that would work though haha. anyone else?

My Eibach Pro's give my 01 a pretty good rake. It dropped about 1 1/2 up front and about an inch in the back.

I would not do a half spring install.

It used to scrape the lower cats over speed bumps, but I had them removed a few months ago, and now it doesn't rub anything at all.
