Need a meaner stance

OK I want my car to have a more aggressive stance. It sits pretty flat right now I know i could get a bigger rear, but I really don't want to. I thought about putting air ride in the rear maybe? I also use this car at the track a lot and I'm not real worried about anything but going in a straight line. So are there any springs or something that I can use to just make it look meaner and maybe even help the traction out a bit?

if you want a higher meaner stance and go to the track get some good rubber with a good profile. if you want it a little lower drop the front 2" and maybe even the back an inch.

the cheapest solution would be to grab some springs out of a v6 3rd gen. itd lower the front an inch or two, and is better for drag racing. the springs are softer and will transfer the weight better.
