I drove around for a while with just the rear springs replaced due to a bit of tech difficulty with the fronts. Eibach though. The look is more even but the handling is horrible.

Look's nice!
Just a reminder, if you will lower only the rear don't forget to adjust headlights.

I mean since the rear is lowered the headlights will point up too high unless they where aimed too low before lowering the rear suspension.

Looks good - could use some bigger rubber to fill the gap like the ones in p1nball car.
I believe he has 205/50/15, maybe you should one size smaller like 195/50/15.
