You can look into an RCA (roll center adjuster) kit...a 25mm kit will lower the car 25mm in the front. (about 1 inch)

If you lower the car, it will vibrate. Unless you don't want to deal with that issue. Try what MrNut suggest and do the RCA blocks to even it out.

Go to the 3rd Gen classifieds. You will see them advertised by PHML. I bought mine from him, they are a simple install so you can DIY. What size wheels do you have? If you have 17's you can only intall the 20mm, if 18's you can use the 25mm.

Yes, you will need to go with the 20mm.
