i dont know if your new with our cars but you usually want the front lower then the back... our cars arent exactly like cadillacs, it just wouldn't look right... and since our cars are front wheel drive, you would have more traction with the front lower. but ya if you must have the back lower then you would have to get 2 different sets of springs(because they make springs lower in the front or even all around) or coilovers... since 2 sets of springs are just as much, i would get coilovers... if you do decide that you dont like that look, you could always adjust it to your preference

True coilovers let you adjust the ride height however you want it. But you would need new shocks pretty fast because the stock ones won't last long on coilovers.

Go with Eibach Prokit, H&R Sport, or Progress Springs.
