I think the rake will be too much and correcr me if I am wrong but I think your going to run into front end geometry issues with a rake like that.

 

you might be able to drop the front using sofsports (~.75-1"), and use stiffer shocks all around.

 

No, you don't want to lower the front with 1.5" springs and leave the back stock. That would be a bad idea. Your original idea of a rake, 1.75" F and 1.5" rear is still best acheived with a spring set and height adjustable shocks.

 

S_Klass is right, its not good to have different shocks on like that, your car would have a split personality in the corners and bumps. id say to stear clear of a combination.

 

Thanks again guys. The feedback is ever so important to my final decision. And appropriate decision. Please...more replies!!!!!!!!

i have S_klass's neuspeed springs with the height adjustable bilsteins, so you can adjust your front, into a rake look, its helpful for me because i can raise the front in the winter. but i personally think that the middle notch on the bilsteins creates a nice natural rake, and anything lower will give you that aggresive stance that you might be after

 

just buy some coilovers. a used set of KWv2s won't be much more than a set of non-adjustables and then you can set the ride height where you want it. I'm thinking about selling my KWv2s to get some Weitecs but only because the green will match what I'm trying to do with my car.

 

Paul - let me get this straight, you are going from KWs to Weitecs because the color of the CO's match up better?

Hey, more power to ya!

 

Back on track, what Paul is saying is correct. You can pick up used Coilovers and get even more control over your ride height if that's your priority. COs are often $900-$1200 new so expect to pay at least $500++ for a set. Right about the $ for a new Spring/Shock set.

 

Before you go with coilovers, make sure you're cool with the ride quality. The one guy I know w/ KW COs says they're too stiff for him. The same suggestion goes for any suspension change.
