    Think putting 250 or 200 springs in the front would do the job?

    250 springs won't do anything,200's will,but to see if you like it go out to auto zone,advance,etc and get a pair of spring clamps.All you do is clamp 2 coils together lowering the car about 2 inches.They only cost about $10 for both sets and if you don't like it you can just pull them back off.Iclamped my comet springs and it still handles ok,don't know if the 200 springs would do good, or want to plow or bottom out.

    I think it looks good. If anything, drop the front just a little...

    I was just going to suggest dropping the front as well.
