Default Lowering for looks only

I would like to lower the backend of my '06 just for cosmetic reasons. I don't race it and although I like to 'get on it' once in a while, that's about it (I can hear the boo's now). Anyway, I want to know if there is a way that makes sense to just lower the rear a bit without getting into a whole suspension overhaul. Honestly,I like the way my car handles for my daily driving chores.

Thanks.

just get a pair of rear springs for the back...simple install, and not too expensive...will lower about 1-1.5 depending on spring choice...

Roush is the only one I'm aware of that sells just the rear springs and they drop the car the amount you are looking for. The rear springs are very easy to change and you can do it with just jack stands you don't need a lift.

1+ but I have it lowered in the rear with Steeda ultralites about 1.25 inches and the ride is great and I have 20's all around. JMO do it.....you will not be disappointed. Install them yourself and Tacobill has a how to on this site and that is how I did mine!

Thanks everyone for your input. I think I'll just do some rear springs as you all suggest.
