Kind of a noob question, but I couldn't find an answer...

Why do some lowering spring sets lower the front more than the rear?

IMO, the rear wheel gap is bigger than the front (likely because of the weight of the engine on the front) so wouldn't it make more sense to drop the rear more than the back to even it out?

Also, why do some sets have different drops for the front and rears while other sets have an equal drop?

 

Actually, it's not even "some" ... it's "most" that do that.

I went with Hotchkis because it doesn't do that. It lowers the rear more than the front and IMO, levels out the car for a better stance.

 

The question remains! Why have a different height for the front and rear?

 

I guess it's all in the spring rate.. they made springs for a reason.. and that's performance, not ONLY looks. i'm not really knowledgable in springs and what not.. but i took a guess. =P

 

if they were for performance, springs wouldn't lower the car more than say 1.5" :D

I personally like the somewhat slanted forward look.

 

FWD cars have a tendency to push, so if you can get more weight on the front that will help the cause

 

i have hotchkis, but my car sits raked in the front...did i get some ____ed up springs?
