I can get some rear Impala springs and some front lowering springs that supposedly lower the Impala SS 1.5". Would this make a good combination or would the front be too low compared to the rear?

Should equal out as the wood is heavier.

Any special shocks? I know cutting coils sometimes ruins the ride. How did it handle after cutting?
