Default Lowered....now what?

I finally lowered my ride, The springs have settled now. The front end isnt quite as low as id like, id kinda like it to be a bit lower than the back. Im thinking about removing the isos from the front. Are there any other options you guys have done to achieve a slightly "raked" look? Not lookin for anything radical. Removing the Isos will be a b^&$ ! because I dont have alot of room in my little garage. I will be putting it up to do shifter and change trans fluid though, so It wont be too far to go to remove them.

the iso's, depending on how wore they are, could bring it down 1/4"

They are Vogtland progressive rate springs. I like the look, its not slammed, but the front could be a bit lower.....I guess ill be pulling the isos in favour of electrical tape! lol

Or use an old garden hose. It sounds crazy, but if you have one laying around that you don't use anymore, cut a piece of it off and use it.

Did this on my old 2002, worked like a charm.

steeda x2 balljoint kit. Lowers it another 1/2" without using the spacers provided, and also helps correct steering geometry. Had this on my first mustang, looked great and perfect height. I'm considering doing it again now that I'm suspecting my cv joints are dying...

by the way, first car is on the left <--
My new one is in the sig without the x2 ball joint kit.
