Default 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

^^ Yep, what GTO said

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

I did both.............having the *** 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.
