This is OK if you don't overdo it. In this case it is "If a little is good a lot is better" NOT!!!. If you put too much weight up front it will affect the handling and could cause an unsafe driving condition. The other main problem is that you MUST take steps to keep the weight from shifting. If it should move at the wrong time it could cause a loss of control. It will also cause increased tire wear and fuel consumption as well as reduce acceleration. This is a very temporary solution, and best done staticly, ie, for looks only and not for driving. If you insist on lowering the car there are other safer ways to do it.

A better choice of ballast (bags of topsoil) is lead buckshot available at ammo and some hardware stores. Here's another tip to save valuable trunk space. Open your jack storage compartment pull out the jack and you will see that the storage area runs the full with of the car, a perfect home for the bags of buckshot.
