Default Lowering the rear of the 2nd Gen with 1st Gen springs

How much does this lower the rear? I know there are a few who have done this. I just want to lower the rear a bit to even out the stance. Any pics would be appeciated as well. Thanks.

yeah thats a sick drop. I wouldnt do it if ur gonna drive around alot of ppl all the time or have massive amounts of stereo equipment.

any gen 1 spring though is gonna lower it Alot instead of just evening it out.

now there is a thread where a dude just put gen2 TRD springs on the rear. lemme find the link
