Default Question about Lowering the car

Is it possible to only lower the back of the car. I would to drop the back my car about an inch or half an inch but I don't know if you are required to drop the front also. The reason why I only want to drop the back is because my lip kit for the front is already low and any lower I would be scraping the floor however the back is still kind of high. Please let me know if anybody has any insight. I

i dont see why not, one inch doesnt seem like too much of a drop for your shocks to handle. now sure if it would look right if the front fender/tire gap is larger than the back. may need to adjust your headlights to aim properly so you dont blind people on the road.

Yup coils is the way to go, unless you want springs but they are not adjustable.
