Yes, you can just lower the front, but I'll ask the same question; "Why?"

Here's a couple of photos of mine with Hotchkis Lowering springs in front and the "hose mod" in the rear.

I have deleted a bunch of weight off the front end of my car and will be deleting more with removal of PS, new k-member etc. I seriously had someone ask if my car had a lift kit in the front...

This thread reminds me of the first time I gave my ex's dad a ride in my WS.6. He had previously owned a third gen IROC-Z. He really liked my car but thought it would look better if I lowered the front and lifted the back!

As for pictures of raked forth gens, check the Street Drag Setup Thread or the Drag Setup Thread. You might have to search through those threads to find exactly what you want but there are plenty of raked cars in those threads.
