roush rear spring will make the rear end as low as the front and get rid of the stock 4x4 rake.

dude just get some pro kit springs or some steeds ultralites. Do a mild drop and you'll be happy. If you just get those rear springs you're gonna want to change them after a month or two. Go with some h&r sports. H&R is a much more comfortable ride to me then eibach. I made the mistake of eibachs but I'm happy with the look.

Do all the springs. I did the roush rears first and it was great but left me wanting more so I got the pro-kit a month later.

the BEST way would be coil-overs

are they practical for you? probably not. considering they cost $1000 (at LEAST) and they require some upkeeping and adjustments, i'd imagine you'd probably be better off with the more daily-driver friendly lowering springs.

I have pro-kits, the car sits pretty level to me.
