Default Coilovers lowering - Front and rear the same or no

Hey, Just wondering if you guys lower you cars with coils.

Do you make the front and rear the same drop or more in the front than the back?

Well i mean , for example

Would you drop 2 inch front then 1.5 inch rear?
or 1.5 inch all around instead?

i just got mine installed, i have dropped more towards the front than the back. I don't know the exact numbers but its about 1/4 to 1/2 inch difference between the wheel and the fender when comparing the front and rear.

My previouse setup, I had the rears a little higher as you can see in the pic. My setup now, since I got new wheels are pretty much the same all the way around.

well...it's all depends on ur own taste ... if u want ur car to look more lower in the front than, drop more in the front or drop same in the front ,because the stock comes front lower than rear..
but i personally drop 2 in the front and 1.8 in the rear, that way the car look even when u look at the side..
