I used reversed eye mono springs all the way around on my 52 F-1 and it brought it down considerably from what it was at stock height and with the tire and wheel combo I have on it there is a one inch difference from the front to the back. Meaning that the front sits one inch lower than the front. It was the easiest way to go without altering the suspension geometry and still brought it down where I wanted it without a ton of extra work.
