Default Lowering springs in the front only?

This may sound stupid to the more knowledgeable forum members, but...
Can I buy Tanabe lowering springs and only install them on the front?

Or am I able to install the rear springs on the front, and the front springs on the rear? I am asking because the rear springs usually lower the car more than they do in the front, so I would like to have a lower front, relatively compared to the rear.. if that makes sense.

Thanks

First off the tanabe springs are sold in sets of 4. They are made differently then the oem springs so you get progressively firmer as they compress, so it will throw off the handling as the rear will bottom before the front.

If you need an adjustable solution I would try a coil over set.
