Default rear lowering springs

If I want to lower the rear should lower the front also?
I don't want to mess with the front springs so I was thinking about replacing the
struts and springs as a kit.
Any suggestions?

Roush rears drop it 3/4 to 1".
That levels it out. Anymore drop
in the rear without touching the front
and the headlights will be pointing to mars.
Most spring 'kits' drop the rear more than the front.

Default REAR SPRINGS

i did that with mine and my car drove terribly until I dropped the front. Lowering the back only made my car drive really bumpy on the back. It changes the damping geometry of the car somehow...IMO I would not drop it if you cant do it all around..
