Has anyone lowered just their front end? Just a thought. If you have a pic, I'd love to see it.

I lowered the fronts and rear(eibach springs/kyb struts)...but at the moment I have smaller tireso on the fronts so my car is slanted towards the front. Atleast until I can get rear tires.
If your curious as to why its like that...the older tires we're rubbing as the new springs settled, I was going to buy new wheels/tires but...I hit a curb and ripped my tire to sheds so I had to purchase new tires and got smaller ones 195/60R14, (It might be 50, cant remember) works perfect now.
I have an old grand am though....so, dunno how much help this is
Edit:
I just remembered I rode with just the fronts lowered for about 2 weeks, I can say the car had some tremendous bounce, in the front, I guess cause the cars balance was off. I got kinda nasty....the strut inserts actually dented my hood. That bounce went away once I put the rear springs on.
Smaller tires I get the same bounce. I'm guessing it should go away once I new matching rear tires.

most GAs look that way stock. haha
i knew of someone who got two types of springs, the ones in front had a lower drop, but it didnt look too different.
that setup would be great for RWD since when you launch itll shift the weight better to the rear, but on a FWD car, its purely cosmetic, and i think the look would get old.

Not sure with the 99+, but I know putting Eibachs on the front and back on the earlier models gives it the 'jacked-up' look. :(
