Thumbs down

NO.

Dropped front means more weight on front end, less on rear. Can you say 'oversteer'? Will handle like an empty pick up truck.

That does you as much good as a rear wing on a front wheel drive Honda that understeers. Wing equals weight (downforce @ the wrong end!).

Leave it alone or do a mild drop that is even.
