Is it feasible to go with Ground Control coilovers in the front with traditional lowering springs in the back? Reason being I have to be able to raise the front if neccesary i.e. break down on road, get onto the car lifts at auto shop, etc... My friend's alternator went on his lowered GSX, and the tow truck effectively ripped the ass out of his front bumper. I'm hesitant to go with coilovers on all four corners b/c there's a lot of isht that can go wrong, plus I heard the ride is harsh (not user friendly with a fiberglass seat). Is there any reason this setup would not work?

After the lowering fiasco with my GS, I vowed never to lower again. The only shop around here that can accurately align a lowered vehicle charges $175, that does hurt. But the wheel gap makes me want to cry everytime I look.

WHAT!!! $175 for an alignment!! You are getting RAPED! Any shop can do it without any problem. I go to Sears and pay like $50 and get a perfect alignment and a full print out with the specs aon where it was and where it is afterwards.

yup 170 for an alignment is ludicrous, I pay 50 where I go for toe alignment. Just lower your car just enough so you can get the jack under there. Plus coilovers aren't all they're cracked up to be, everytime to fiddle with them your alignment will be off. The toe that is.

Who sez FF can't drift?

I'm lowered 2 inches and to get my 2-ton jack under the car I lay a single 2x4 perpendicular to the car and drive onto it. It raises the car 2 inches and enough to get the jack under it.
