Is there a way to just lower the rear to the stock front end height? Just enough to take the rake out. I just about flood out the way it is, we get so much standing water all over. I hate to lower the front any more that what I already is. But I would love to get an even ride height. Any suggestions welcome.

I think you will be pleased when the car is lowered...the raked look is even more aggressive. Only other suggestion would be Eibach pro kit in the front and Intrax in the rear, but that will expensive and the ride will be bizzare.

I wouldn't think it would be good to lower just one part of the car,I don't know what could happen but they do give lowering springs in 4 springs,but if you do go with what Jay said,eibachs in front and intrax in the rear,front will still be lower then the rear but that gap in the rear will be less.Id still rather go with front and rear being lowered with the same spring brand tho,don't like the idea of mixing them.

Well I was going to go with Eibach all the way around. But after the last two weeks of all this rain, I forgot how low the car already is and wiht all the standing water so high I am afraid to go much lower. Plus my 97 rides like a lumber wagon already. These roads in Tulsa are pot hole city. These front end shops got to me making a fortune in this city.

Id just go with Eibachs in your case then.The Eibachs have been known to retain stock ride quality,mainly because that they have the minimal drop,about a 1.5 or so in front and rear.One member has a 96-98 GT with Eibachs and it has a very nice look to it,its not too low and its not racked at all,it sits level.

Our cars are raked stock.....but Eibachs defintely help it to give it a more level look.

I hate driving in some parts of Tulsa... In my S-10 I lowered it with a 3/4 drop. The extra inch in the rear leveled it out. I think it would look good but thats my opinion. You could put a bunch of sand bags in the trunk and it would help out better. LOL thats a joke, unless you really are thinking about it now :P
