Default If you just install rear lowering springs....

If you just install rear lowering springs on your car, will it help drop your car at all? Don't you need to install the front ones also for complete results?

if you install the rears only, the rear will be the only end dropped. depending on what type of spring, it may look a little silly. i did this on my lt1 years ago, did the rear shock/spring swap and never did the front. it drove ok, nothing too bad. just that the rear looked good, and the front looked.. a little high comparitively -g

I drove mine around halfway through the swap. It looked like

I had a 2" drop though, so it was noticable. I couldn't get back to my garage fast enough in fear that a neighbor might see me. Also, plan on buying an adjustable panhard rod to get the rearend back under the car. Mine was a big drop though, so depending on which springs you chose it may not be as noticable.
