If you do the front springs, the front will sit 1.5 inches lower than the back (mine does at least), so if you wanted to lower the front and have it even w/ the rear, you could do a shackle/hanger kit (in your case, you could just get hangers) in the back to give you about a 3 inch drop in the rear, which would be almost even with the front. I personally like the sport rake look with the rear 1.5 inches higher.

See suspension drop information at the NLOC.net road racing forum. It'll give you a good idea of the different drop heights associated with each manufacture.

Yeah you may get more then a 1" drop from front springs once they settle.

Definately check out Spike's thread so you can see the difference between the different ones out there.
