You mean it's only lowered in the back? How does it drive? Is it unstable? Feel like you're on a boat? Noisy? More info definately helps. If you don't want to spend a load of cash, get some lowering springs that are rates at a 1.5"-1.75" drop. You should be able to get away with using the stock struts with them and still have a comfortable ride with good looks.

Yeah, springs on stock/aftermarket struts or shocks will not be a stiff as a full coilover setup, so it will make driving over rough roads not as annoying.
