you can pick from eibach, steeda, roush, and frpp (which is eibach).

and dropping only the rear by 1.5 inches would look really unbalanced. if you wanna lower only the rear, go with the roushes

I was thinking the back only because my car looks like it would be even with the front if it was droped 1.5 inches you think thats a bad idea? I don't want the rear lower then the front but most kits drop the front too and I was thinking the front is fine for me but the rear sets way to high. Also this is my DD so winter in Ohio is the reason I do not want to drop the front any lower.

The Roush springs will drop the rear 3/4".
Get the matching Roush shocks as well.
It will even out the stance and get rid of
the OEM rake look.
www.mossmustang.com
$125 or so for the rear springs and $175 or so for the matching shocks.
