    i can't stand the large gap between the front tires of my gp, but i'm content w/ back ones (mostly thanks to the weight of the subs in the back).. so i was wondering- has anyone ever only lowered the front??? is there anywhere to even purchace only front lowering springs??? thanks

    a ton of people have done this. you'll have to buy a full set and only use the fronts unless you can find a sucker selling them used that will sell the fronts only.

    You might want to get the alignment of the rear checked as well. Chances are, your camber is off due to the extra weight

    or get the SSC springs - they make rear springs higher to support more weight in the back.

    mhm. check out ZZP's options on those, you can select stiffer rear springs that won't drop as much.
