Question Anyone just lower the front..

The front of my car looks a little high to me. I don't want to lower the whole car, just the front a bit. Has anyone done that?

If you went with the ROW suspension, your car will lower ~20 mm in front and ~10 mm at rear. That, I think, is your best bet.

I already have to be careful enough as it is to not scrape the front on small inclines. Personally, I wouldn't want it any lower than the stock 4S setup.

Just went to a Blockbuster last night and coming out of the parking lot is an uphill slop onto the street - gently scrapped the black underguard piece. argh!

I would worry that you would upset the balance of your car if you just lowered the front. I agree that the ROW 030 is a great, safe way to lower your car without worrying whether or not you're changes have changed its handling characteristics.
