You are at risk of dialing in much more understeer with the car, due mostly to the fact that aftermarket springs tend to be a higher rate than OE. The A-Spec suspension actually uses a LOWER spring rate in front to combat understeer. Also, if I'm not mistaken, a lower ride height will put less weight on the respective wheels. So, if you put a lower ride height in the front, more of the vehicle weight will shift to the back wheels, which may add to the understeer. It might also look odd. Especially with a full inch drop in the front.

If you're not driving your car like crazy, it won't matter at all. I've done this setup to some cars, so you can trust me. If it's look that you're after, it won't do any harm to the car, I believe. Of course, it'll affect the steering, tire wear... etc, but it won't do any damage.
