Suggestion
Some of us experience rear end sag when just using lowering springs on the front and rear due to old shocks.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Some of us experience rear end sag when just using lowering springs on the front and rear due to old shocks. With most of the weight of the car in the rear I'm not sure what you would be trying to accomplish in doing that to the rear only. Just seems like the car would be crazy off balance. Care to elaborate on what you're trying to achieve?
I have lowered every car I've owned in the past 15 years. it's just my thing now I guess. It's always just for appearance. I don't want to scrape my bumper in the front so I was going to keep it pretty much the way it is. I figure that it would drop a little if the rear is lowered. I'll probably never drive the car hard so the handling is 2nd to looks.
Thanks! I'm on H&R lowering springs only. Thought about coilovers but I really don't drive my car in a way that would justify doing so. If you're already on 19's....a drop on the front and rear will level it out and eliminate the wheel well gap. You really shouldn't scrape with a modest drop. I haven't scraped at all and I've had this drop for 3+ years. Plus my front lip is a little lower as well. I just make sure I don't pull all the way up to the sidewalk or curb stops when parking.
Nothing else was done except for a 4 wheel alignment which is highly recommended after modifying the suspension. The ride is firm but not uncomfortable or anything like that. With 91k you may want to consider replacing your shocks. Otherwise you will potentially have some sag and the ride will suffer a little. I have 80k on mine now and new shocks are on my Spring maintenance list.
You won't regret lowering it! Be sure to post pics of before and after!
