what springs to run out back?

Ok guys ive been looking at doing a total suspension rebuild as my car feels like well its old and not so tight anymore...just like the person in the other thread is asking about...ive read everything on here about suspensions and blah blah....heres my delema...if you check out my album on my page you will notice i have a big sound system in my car....well with the system out of the car it sits about 2 inchs higher in the back...i havent mesured this but it is a HUGE difference even to the eye, espically when driving. I know that my springs, shocks, and im sure bushings, etc. are worn out...every bump feels like im on an ocean...just keeps on flowing with the waves (i own a boat and a lake cottage for that, i dont want to ride the waves in my car)...what i want is a streetable(daily driver in the summer) but performance set up...ive been looking at doing the eibach pro kit....heres my problem...with the system in the car will it affect the rear end to drop down even more?....what will it do to the ride and handleing?....pretty much im scared it will drag in the back like those early 80's cadillacs you see in the city...the car right now actually sits pefectly flat all the way from the front to the back(which i know on a stock ride is just not right)....so what im gettin at is what springs would you suggest...i do know a guy that does dirt track racing and has a four tire scale set up to weight the front and back and all that....i dont really talk to him THAT much but its a possiblity...do you guys really need that exact of a messurement to make the best spring suggestion?...i just dont want to pay $200 for the eibach springs and get all done and say wow what a waste of money and time!
