Default Lowering Question

Is it possible to lower the rear of my coupe only? I only wanted to drop it about an inch. Would this look funny or cause any problems?

Thanks Joe D.

It would look funny if the rear was lower than the front. :yesnod:

This would also probably reduce the downforce on your car, thereby creating a flighty feel at higher speeds. I wouldn't do it.
