Question on lowering with Koni's
 
I'll be going back to stock springs with Koni SA's soon. I will be setting the front springs on the lower spring perch which will drop the nose end about 3/4" as I'm told

Now on the rear, if I just leave it as is with the stock springs, will it look really disproportional with the front end? Do I have to do the hose mod on the rear or will it look ok without it.

I know these cars tend to squat alot under heavy acceleration, and I'm looking at 315's in the near future.

Any feedback is appreciated as well as pics

Thanks

if u like the raked look on these cars (which I love myself), just drop the front 3/4" and call it a day. :)

^^ Yep, what GTO said

Your car will look really aggressive with the nose end sitting slightly lower than the rear end

Thanks guys, I'm gonna drop the front and leave the rear at stock height

I did both.............having the ass in the air is not the greatest for handling? Doing the hose mod gives the car the stance I believe these cars should have come with from the factory with the fronts set to the lower perch. Try just dropping the front and see if you like it..............it a simple process to do the hose mod after the fact.

Old pictures, but you get the idea. That was with Hotchkis springs up front and stock springs in the back.
