Lowering Rear
Is it ok to just lower the rear end of my car? I am thinking of the .8 drop on the rear and nothing in the front. I am also putting 19"s on soon. I think I will go with eibach. Thanks guys.

other than your spring compression rate differing from front to rear and buying a set of four springs but only using 2, probably nothing abnormal. 0.8 drop isn't bad. I know from experience that a 0.6 drop in the rear can be realigned to factor specs(camber & toe)

Tein makes a kit that doesn't drop the car much and it will keep the spring rates the same. My driveway has a huge curb and I have a Mastergrade front lip, if I pull in or back out, it scrapes pretty badly. I can still back in without scraping. Tein will be the only option I know of right now.

Tein s-tech would offer a 0.6 drop in the rear

i'm assuming you guys want to even out the car by just lowering the rear. if that's the case, maybe you should consider the rear spring seat mod. cut down the rear spring seat and you can get around 0.2" of drop for free. there's a thread on here somewhere that details this.

As for whether it's a good idea or not, I have no idea...
