Default Lowering Front Only (I have already used search)

I have searched but with little results

My question is will putting V6 springs on the Front lower the nose .4-.5 inches.

Car will get a complete NEW (good) setup eventually. But money is tight rite now and i want the front lower than rear. (did hose mod and want the rake back)

I know it wont handle as well but i dont corner carve it goes to the local 1/8 strip.

Easy... cut a coil. Don't listen to the naysayers, your car will ride just fine with cut springs. I've got cut springs and Bilstein shocks and my car rides and handles great. It doesn't look slammed like a car on Sportlines but it got rid of the ridiculous 4x4 stance.

Some people have said that putting V6 springs on their car lowered it a bit, but honestly if I were you I would skip the soft V6 springs and cut the stock springs. It'll be fine.

I'm sure that the V-6 springs will drop the nose, but they'll also be softer, so they wont handle properly.
