Default Is there any way to lower just the rear of my 07GT

I really don't want to mess to much with the suspention , but would like to level off the stang so it isn't sitting up as high in the back . Probably a dumb question, I'm just throwing it out there. Thanks

Don't you need to change the front springs with that kit?, and how much does it lower the car?, I didn't find any lowering info. Thanks for your help.

It lowers it 3/4", it should level it out just fine. There are a few people on here that have done it this way with these Roush springs. You dont have to lower the front...

I also want to level out the stang, but I want to replace the shocks/strurts with tokico d-specs at the same time as the springs. I know a lot of people have been replacing just the rear with roush springs, but I am weird in the way that it would bother me to replace just the rear springs with an aftermarket part and not the front. So which would be the best package of springs to use to achieve a level car (and with the least amount of drop possible)?

If only 0.8" lowering up front is OK, tnen the Vogtland "balancing springs" kit from Sam Strano might be an option.

FWIW, I think with any spring that's stiffer than OE you ought to consider different shocks/struts.
