Lowering Front End??

Hey......well I have a 91 Camaro RS 305 TBI auto. I've noticed that lowering the car looks like 932489348 times more sexier lol. but it seems that a lot of people lower the front end of the car more??? I like that look much better than the whole thing. Now, I don't mean lower JUST the front end...but the front more than the back. I was lookin at this one site ( http://www.cardomain.com/id/92camarors ) and that's exactly how I want it. He has the front lowered more than the back. I know he has low profile tire's....but what's the best way for me to do this? Thanks I appreciate everyone's help!!!!

Well actually that is my car....

Now it looks alot different, I lowered my car about 1 -1/5" all around....

The front is about 1.5 -2 inches lower in the front....

This is how it sits now with the lowering....

I like it when the front sits lower then the back.

I was wondering if there was a way to raise the back end.

Are lift bars what I would want to use?

you may not have to raise the back end at all, to get the front lower, unless you want some kind of extreme look. when i was looking for springs to lower my car, i found that almost all the ones i could find lowered the front just a little more than the rear, that wasnt the look i was going for... so i bought some intrax springs and they are 2 inch drop all around and its really nice. it sits low and straight. but if you want the front lower look, there are all kinds of springs out there that will do just that for you.

First, I love FLYNLOW92rs's car. I think the stance is awsome. The kits i remember seeing had the front lower. Could you just buy a little shorter spring for the front if you had to?

I just looked at some DropZone lowering springs for about 100. A complete set of 4. They're supposed to lower 1.75 inch front drop, 1.5 inch rear drop. Could someone briefly explain the installation of these? Remember, I'm a newbie but I love all of you for understanding
