Koni shocks in the front only ?

I am currently running Eiback pro-kit with stock shocks. I like the ride but not the stance there is a big wheel gap in front and almost none in the rear. My solution is to put Koni adjustable shocks. it would drop it by about 15mm which should be alot nicer.

My questions is the following:

Can I just put koni shocks in the front ? will this impact my ride/handling in a negative way ? would that cause any problems down the road ?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

From what I remember alot of people said there are alot of negative affects when you do this. I forgot who it was but I am sure they will chime in.

Seems like it should be ok. You probably want to err on the side of caution and adjust them towards the soft side to match the damping of the rear shocks. Otherwise you may have some strange behavior during hard acceleration and braking.

I want to buy all 4 but i'm in Canada and its over 1000$ for all 4 which is quite expensive and since the rear sits perfectly no need to put money into it. Just want to eliminate that front wheel gap.
