Lowering just the front

GTATX · 04-13-2021, 04:14 AM

Hey guys I wanted to know if it is possible to just lower the front maybe an inch or so?

I have attached some pics for u to see. I'm on Titans 7s with 285-35-20 front and 345-30-20 rear on 4S. Running an aggressive camber of -2.6 and some fender rolling for rear. I happy with how the rear looks but would like to know if just lowering the front will mess with anything or leave it as it is?

Thanks for y'all's help.

I would not do front only as the spring rates would not be uniform and possibly create some issues such as excessive rebound.

Maybe consider a sleeve kit (KW HAS or M Perf) so you can adjust front and rears to your liking.

I was looking at my car this morning and thinking the rears look spot on but fronts could do with an inch drop and thought exactly the same about just changing the fronts and then thought about it a bit more and thought there might be issues. Shame.

Any of the HAS kits will allow you to set front and rear ride heights independently and have springs rates that are tuned to work together like the stock springs.

I have a M-Performance HAS that I'll be installing on my car when it arrives. Much like you, I've seen the front sits a bit high compared to the rear. I'll be lowering the front to equalize the gaps between the bottom of the fender/quarter-panel and top of the tire.
