Default lowering question.

just would like to know if any one has just lowered the front of there car using springs and leaving the rear springs standard?

would dis be a good way of lowering, as i do carry people in the back and dont want my exhaust catching the hump. also what is the best drop i.e i was thinking 40mm?

thanks

I have lowered mine, its ment to be 25, but has leveled the car out very nice.
No issues.

this will make the car unstable,geo wil be affected
different spring rates ,bump ,rebound ,roll will be altered

the car is friendly over bumps and if lowering will make it bumpy and make my organs go up and down? then i will giv it a miss. the only car i lowered was a clio 182 and i could feel every little dip lol.
