Default -Lower the front?

Hi all, so one of my best buds just got a 17' ES for his wife, he's thinking of lowering the front just a bit to give it a slightly better "look". Is this easily done?

lowering just the front?

May as well order one of the front bumper and lip kits in the car-act thread. I dislike the front only look cuz then you've got 'snowplow' syndrome where your front end is lower than the rest of the car and it looks like a shovel.

I suppose you could take it to a shop and cut the front springs but then not only will it be poor performance from dynamics, but will be poor from poor springs.

Do it properly...four springs or four coil overs.

Agreed. If you want to have a lower look, put a lip on the front. Otherwise u lower the entire car so it doesn't look and perform lopsided. All-Fit has lips you can check out in varying measurements. I have one on my car and I get complimented on it. It is great quality and it hasn't scratched or deformed unlike the cheaper on I got for my brothers accord that already looks faded and ruined by a few scrapes on the driveway.
