Having not read all the comments, get some big wheels with rubber band tires. (I so hate that ghetto look on Mustangs! 
) As for the 1/2" lowering springs, yes they exist, but you'll have to get them from a dealer or OEM supplier. The SVT Performance Package springs lower the car ~1/2" up front and ~1/4" out back.

I'm actually less concerned about lowering the front, I really just want the back to be more even with the front, close to zero rake.

I'm hoping this will come out soon: http://www.engadget.com/photos/sct-itsx/
but if not I'll probably just get the regular tuner.
I also wanna do 4.10 gears but am holding off until I get the tuner.

I'm looking for a balance between power and economy, it's my daily driver, so 4.10s would be too much for me. I do, however, want to pick up and X-charger down the line. Add some power and keep the mileage!

I told myself when I bought the car that I would do it but I'm really liking the stock power. Maybe an intake, exhaust, 4.10 gears and tune and I'll be happy for awhile.
As far as gas mileage goes, well... between city and hwy 50/50, I average about 19-20mpg. That's way better than I thought I was going to get, so I think there's some room for 4.10s for me

Sounds good to me. I do mostly highway while in school and on a nice winter day with conservative driving, I've hit 33 mpg once or twice. typically 28 - 30 on highway the way I drive. The stock power of those 2011s are impressive. And intake and exhaust is a cheap(er) way of freeing up a little bit more power than a supercharger, go for it.

yeah definitely cheaper, but not nearly as much potential
The Ford Racing supercharger can make 525hp on 6lbs boost or 625hp on 9lbs boost with no other mods. That's crazy talk. But what's also crazy is the $6,000 price tag.
But if you think about it, intake, exhaust, gears and tune will cost me $2500 and get me ~40hp. $6000 can get me 625hp and I wouldn't need gears with that much power.
Very tempting, maybe for christmas
