Drifferent Brand Front & Rear Springs

I'm going to be buying a z28 or Firebird as soon as my bike sells and I'm planning on getting pacesetter LTs but I'm kind of worried about ground clearence, but I don't like the stance of the cars stock. I noticed that hotchkis (sp) springs drop the car 1" which is perfect for the front IMO, but I don't care for the factory rake that these cars have. I would like the car to sit level or slightly more drop in the rear than the front. I was thinking of getting the hotchkis springs and putting them up front with new struts for a 1" drop and reasonable clearence and then getting another set of springs and drop the rear 1.5"-1.7" to get rid of the rake. Anyone else done this? If please post some pics of the stance for me.

Sorry for rambling, its been a long night and I'm ready for bed LOL

I with the stock springs you can remove the rear isolator to get a half inch drop or something. should work for aftermarket springs as well. x doing that you should even it out. however, look up pics of lowered cars. usually they sit pretty level anyways.
