suspension drop

I have an 03 cl S and notice most people will drop front and back. My CL sits about an inch higher in the front. My question is ha anyone ever dropped just the front with out any issues?

Thanks,
Lee

You could do that, but handling will suffer.

Unless you get struts with adjustable spring perches, that way you can leave the rear at OEM height and drop the front a bit.

Your best bet is to get adjustable height coilovers so that you can adjust the front and rear to be equal height

Coilovers or Cut 3/4 of the first coil off the bottom not the whole coil, some people say that's a bad idea but I have done it to my CL,TL and Accord (Before Teins)and could tell no difference except it was level in ride height.
