Lowering my gp

Im really keen on lowering my gp. Has anyone done it already? Thinking out chucking a set of pro kit eibachs on for the more agressive look but not sure if it will lower it enough at the back end. what has anyone used on theres?

Dont worry about the back end being low enough, from all the lowered GP's that i've seen (including mine) its the front end that still seems to sit a little high.
