Default Help finding FRONT lowering springs

I've been up and down most of the popular websites looking for a set of front lowering springs with no luck. I do not want to lower the rear due to my dumped exhaust set up which already low as it is, and I do not want to buy a whole set of 4 and pay for more than what I need. I did however see that QA1 sells a set of front springs but with no info on whether it changes ride height, I guess could cut a link off if needed. Goal is to fill the fender gaps by lowering the front and use a taller tire in the rear, but I also want a stiffer spring up front for handling, that's why I haven't just cut the stock spring. Anyone?

Lowering the front only is going to give some pretty goofy handling, likely lots of understeer, especially if the front spring rate is high. One great option if you want a slightly lower stance, while improving handling dramatically is getting Koni SA's shocks and using the front lower perch for a 3/4" drop.
Heres a front and rear set:

This will give you WAY better handling then lowering springs on stock shocks, while also better ride quality as well.

http://www.daymotorsports.com/shop/S...Coil-Over-Kits

Lots of choices for a threaded collar coil-over setup. $40 for the sleeves and an infinite ride height. Just know the diameter of your shock.


And that will put you here ...

Choose which free length and rate you want.

Then just move the lower seat up and down the threaded collar to find the front ride height you want.
