Mike, I think its better for you to change the whole set. I understand the reason why you just want to change the front only is probably because the front gap is visually much bigger than the rear. But if you change the front only, you car will "dip" in the front and it will look a bit awkward. You might end up changing the rear as well, but then you have to pay a second time installation fee. If you're afraid that the rear will get too low, you can get the thickest (dot 4) shim perch for the rear.

Not only that, but it isn't safe to make one end much stiffer than the other. When I first changed my suspension, I drove the car around the block when only the front was complete. The rear will feel like it is always coming around on you.
