Lowering front more than rear?

How is handling affected if the front of the car is lowered more than the rear? I'm thinking between 1-2 inches difference.

With some custom rocker panels which get larger towards the rear, this might be a nice agressive look...but if it doesn't handle well then forget it.

Anybody done this? Thanks!

The rake from the front to the back should not be more than ½'' to 1/8 '' with the front lower. Any more and it mite get a bit tail happy.

this reminds me of the muscle cars that have the block and shackle kits installed so they can have that "stinkbug" look. when i first learned about them i was informed by a reputable auto technician that they were very wrong for handling and they didn't add much to a good launch either.
given the differences between our setups of rear suspension and that of the "muscle car" i would say that it wouldn't really effect the launch. (i've never seen a 914 with wheel hop, have you?)
my ramblings.
