IMHO you may want to consider not lowering the front & leaving the rear the same height. While it will look mean and cool, you have to know it's gonna be a lot more prone to break traction in a turn, especially on wet roads and/or high speed handeling. It will also put more weight on the front end causing more stress on the suspension and tires.

You've already got a sharp car there!

I admit it does look good but just be careful with it until you get used to the changed charastics!
