I would just lower the back and see how you like it.

lowering the front involves removal of the front spring and you can't really lower the car all that much anyway as you just remove the spring shims.

if you really want to lower a bunch, consider going to coil over shocks which involves removal of the factory traverse springs. now you can lower or change spring rates to best tune the ride and handling.

lowering the front is more hassle than it's worth IMHO. for just a bit more $$$ you can do the coil overs which makes a more dramatic improvement.

good luck!!!
