Default Lowering Springs, Height, Rims

I am getting new wheels and tires pretty soon and I figured I would get some lowering springs after I see how the wheels and tires sit on the car. I'm getting 17x7 Enkie EV5 wheels.

Enkei Performance EV5 Hyper Black w/Machined Lip

Anyone know any good lowering springs that would drop the back more than the front so I can have a level car...currently, and typical, my car sits "front heavy" and I don't like the look of it. Let me know if anyone knows of any springs good for the Cobalt that would work with my rim size and put the back down further than the front...maybe like 2'' in the back and 1.5'' in the front?

Thanks

Yeah I figured 2'' in the back and 1.5'' in the front would be good, but I'm going to wait until after I get the wheels and low profile tires so I can measure to see how much I want it lowered. Thanks.

I didn't get anything yet. Do you mean take pictures once I get everything, or take pictures of the ride height right now?

I just bought some 17's aswell and im riding on 215/40R17's and was wondering if anyone new what it would take to get about 1-2" gap between the tire and fender. Just coils or do the whole coilover and struts?
