Default lower in front than rear

I was unsure where put this, here or under suspension, but im looking primarily for a few pics. Mods feel free to move if necessary.

It was a black 2001 ws6 that was lowered all around but was lowered more in the front than rear, i thought it looked great. He had 315's on the rear. I know what most of you are thinking and no i'm not looking for something out of the 70's, but this car was slightly lower in the front than rear and looked very aggressive.

DOes anyone have any pics of a car like this?

Only performance reasons that I would be able to think about is it might yield more efficient weight transfer on a launch.

^^^ thats the point of having a "raked" stance. So when u launch and the weight transfers to the rear of the car the front end becomes even with the rear (so u dont lift the nose). Under hard acceleration you should have no rake, it should look level.

Hmmm i was just talking about doing this today. I have 315s in the rear and I am afraid that i am going to have to roll my fenders in order to put springs on and the bf is not into helping me do that, something about resale value blah blah blah. lol. So i was thinking that instead i could put a rake on it. I would really like to see some more pics of this and know what springs people put on. Thanks

DevilmonkeyWS6 (like the name btw lol) How much is your lowered? Do you have 315s on the rear? If so do they fit ok under there or did you have to roll your fenders?

So I'm thinking maybe a 2" front and 1.3" rear. Probably will be about all i can do with LT's and duals. Anyone have suggestions on which springs and shocks?

I really would like to know how to lower the front. My SLP Eibach springs give me a negative rake (higher in the front) and all this weight reduction off the front doesnt help either. I need something different to lower the front.

Thanks, you should have 18/9s. At their website, I bought 18/9s and 18/10s out back. Very nice ride!
