I think Strano's 1.2" drop would look perfect on your ride. I don't know if he separates them though?

So you want to use stock springs on the rear? It won't ride right. At least mine didn't due to different rates.

the reason i want to leave the rears alone is because if i drop the rear it will be sitting on my tires.

If all you want to do is drop the front. Couple of options first is lower perch on Konis... no change in ride. Second would be to do the SLP 1LE springs I believe they are called... which don't have a huge drop or high rate.

Hello
I've seen some rides with the Eiback pro kits on the fronts or a coil over set-ups is nice as well (gives you the adjust ability to lift or lower) those are just a few other options as well.. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
Brad

When it comes to racing the QA1's are really good for weight transfer ( as long as you get the correct spring rate).
Take it easy

I can get you a set of QA1 single adjustables with whatever spring rate you need delivered to your door for $530.21. If you want the R series drag race version it would run you $510.21. Give me a call if you have any questions or would like to order a set.
