Drop just the front?

Looking to drop my G but not too much. Right now the rear looks good to me with a height of 27 1/4. The front though is over 28. If I just put Tanabes on the front to get the drop and keep the stock rears, would the spring rate be to far off and mess up handling? Also I am looking to put spacers in: 20mm all around or maybe 15 in the front. Since I will have a shop putting these in I am trying to be cost concious. My local shop quoted $320 for the fronts and $230 for the rear.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

two different kinds of springs is never a good idea. they weren't made to compliment each other

If you want the REAL answer, read my following post...

And after having this set-up for a couple of months I can tell you there is NO degradation in ride quality and the front & rear remain dead even. This is a perfect upgrade for those of us wanting a conservative drop to even the front with the rear on the "S" model coupe.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I have the exact same measurements to start. Sorry I missed the original post in my searches. Now to order the Tanabes!!! Looks awesome!!
