The front of my car looks like its doing a wheelie, would i be able to just lower the front or would this affect handling etc ??

get sum 30mm lowering springs for the front, it should sort things out.

(mind u, i advised sum 1 to chop their springs down in a previous post so don't listen to me!:o :p well...in theory it was my mate who made me say that ;))

but of course it will affect the handling.
but in theory it should be in a good way.
wont be as good as lowering frond and back but should make it better.

Lowering is generally good for handling as it usually involves the fitting of better and firmer than std. springs and shocks. There won't be any handling probs with lowering the front 30mm and leaving the back std. However it will alter the camber of the front wheels which tends to:
a. Cause the inside of the tread to scrub off quicker than normal.
b. Make the cars steering feel a bit directional and rail like. This effect is increased the wider the tyres and lower you go. Race cars utilise this effect to get better turning in responses and feel thru cornering. Coilover shock kits can be got with a camber adjuster on top of them but they're pricey
