Lowerin' the front ONLY

I just got an '01 Z28 and the previous owner had put Eibach lowering springs on the front only. What kind of problems does that cause? I noticed a lot of wheel hop and don't know if that is normal for an M6.

The main issue that I can see is having two different spring rates. It's like having two completely different suspension set-ups on each end.

yeah i think eibachs are progressive...and stock are...um...not progressive. i forget what it is...variable or something...

and wheel hop is a problem with every f body. control arms and relocation brackets easily fix that.

oh another thing too...i'd imagine that lowering the front would shift the center of gravity foward and braking performance would suffer.
