    Coil-over in rear only?

    Its safe to run coil-over in rear only, or it will throw my car out of balance? I'm (almost tucking) my front tires, I can get them to tuck with camber plate which reasonably lower the front down by a inch or so. I dont have coil-over up front. I can run camber plate up front with lowering springs?
    The reason Im asking about coil-over in rear only because I have early model and 2.5' drop isnt even enough. Its enough for front.

    rear gap

    front gap ( the ground is slanting to the right) sideshot is "accurately shot of ride height)

    Dont worry about those wheels. I'm looking for different wheels 16x9 all around or staggered. Got tired of those wheels, only 2 months old :hitler:

    have you taken the rear spring pads out? that will give you a lil more. what springs do you have? i think it looks pretty good for not having coil overs

        yes, no pad in rear.. nada. 2.5 drop from apex

        I need to be more lower to pull them off.. It rubs when i have 6 spares of basketweaves in my car..

          yeah it would be safe but why not put coils on the front too?

            See no reason to put up coil for front. My front is already fine as its, it wil be more lower with camber plate..1 inch lower. My rear need coil-over badly.

            Can I mated camber plate with lowering springs, not coilover?

              if you only care about how it looks then you'll be fine. most people would be concerned with spring rates and say the car looks great as is.

                where can i find coilover for rear without using springs on shock? which mean I need to modify.

                Im looking for the rear only. I dont want to order whole package.
