Eibach ProKit - Can I just lower the front?

Hey:

I installed a huge car stereo system in my trunk and it lowered the back about 1.2" so the front doesnt match (stock setup right now), so can I just put the Eibach ProKit Front Springs on it and leave the rear stock and it do ok?

Thanks!

you can, but not recommended. the higher spring rate will make your car unbalanced and cause serious understeer. and the roll of the car will also be unbalanced so makes your turns unstable.

i would do both front and back. with the higher spring rates, the rear shouldn't lower too much.
