Default Easiest way to lower front end?

I dropped the back end of my 02 Z by removing the spring cups, now I need the front end down 1-1.5". Its about level now, but the fender gap up front is too much for me. The car is basically set up for drag racing.

Lowering a car, generally degrades its ability to hook.
You can bring some of that back with suspension tweaks
but you lose weight transfer being lower. So if you're
making it a drag car, might rethink before you put a lot
of work into this angle?

Yes I agree, lowered car has the good look but isnt the best applications for drag.

To answer your question on lowering, do it right and get the right springs.
