I used the Eibach Pro-Kit at first, but the rear was still too high. I changed over to H & R Super Sports.........perfectly even! They are great.........rough ride, but it's fun!

Interesting. I think the rear is fine, but the front may need to go down a 1/2-inch or so. Of course, I really prefer the "forward leaning" drag car/muscle car look; plus I need room to stuff some 29" slicks back there.

td... I haven't changed the springs at all; they are all stock height. But, my rear tires are about 0.65" taller than stock (just under 28"). The 29" slicks will still fit nicely back there. So, I don't want to drop the rear at all. And, although I've thought about dropping the front ever-so-slightly, it's not even on my secondary list of mods right now. I have other things to do first.
Hell, after driving SUVs for the last 8 or 10 years, this thing is low enough for me as it is now. If I had a 2" drop, I'd never be able to get in and out of it. haha.

What size wheels and tires and are you having any rub problems between fenders and tires? I am thinking of going with the Steeda ultralites which are 18x9.5 and 275-40-18 tires. They should be a little shorter than stock but i'm not sure if the width will cause problems or not with the sportline springs.
