rear drop only???

i have a 12 gt brembo, koni orange,gt500 mounts, stock brembo springs up front 55d in the rear,QUESTION, can you just get rear lowering springs with a panhard bar and leave the front stock,does anyone sell just rears with the right spring rate to match the fronts, etc.

You already have 55d springs in the rear, why would you want only the rear lower?

I would check with BMR and Steeda, they sell rear springs separate and that's what most guys running a SC use to level out the rear of the car.

Not a bad question. The weight of the supercharger lowered the front of my car slightly, exaggerating the rear wheel gap that so many complain about. I wouldn't mind dropping the rear of mine just to level things out a bit.

even with the 55d springs the rake is still to high in the rear, it needs at least 1.5 inch drop which lots of spring brands make, i heard good reviews on sr lowering springs (1.5 drop)my car is a daily driver thats never going to see the track and the sr is a progressive rate spring so it rides good and is a good match for my koni str.t and gt500 mount,but does anyone know if the spring rate (SR) is a good match for the stock front brembo springs,link to spring rates of stock brembo springs and after market rates (Sr,BMR,etc.)anyone?

I would think the car would handle weirded,
because most lowering springs have a different spring rate
(Stiffer than stock) so the rear springs would not match up well with the
stock front!
Just my thoughts!
I would run it by the people at Steeda or BMR!
