Default 83gtho front drop springs

hey

I have an 83 gt ho and I have 215's in the front and 245's in the rear I want it to have the hot rod look but now it has to much of a wheel well gap in the front. I was going to put lowering springs in the front and leave the rear alone do you think I will sacrafice traction?

215 and 245 are the widths. for height you use the ratio of width to height....like 50% of 245 is blah blah blah. and you want a ranked effect, dont just get front springs and not rears car will handle like ****. 215 is a skinny tire especially for a mustang. just run the same heights and be happy with it. it will save you so much hassle
