Ok strange question as it might be. Is there any significant dangers to just lowering just the front of my car? Faster wear on other parts because only the front is lowered? I dont wanna lower the back cause i want a little bit of "nose down" look for the 6gc. Thanks in advance for the inputs.

there's nothing wrong with having the front lower than the rear. i've had front tein lowering springs and stock rears for about a year without issues. and yeah the front gap is pretty hideous, that's why i did the fronts only at first but then realized lowering springs all around in the winter ain't so bad after all. just as long as you're not on coilovers because then you would have to deal with reduced comfort, interior vibrations, and if you go really low then you're also gonna get torn cv boots.
here's my car a few years ago with the front lowered on tein s-techs ![]()
