Answer this..

What coilovers?
Are they at end or near end of stroke?
Plan on spacers? You look sunk in a fair bit?
How's ride quality?
Street or track use?

Answering those will answer the question..

Raise the front a bit, lower the rear. Even it out a bit more.

Another in favor of raising the front a bit. Just a tiny bit.

Lower the front, and jack the rear up really high, and put some obnoxiously big meaty meats in the back. Give it that rad hotrod look.
