Front sits high after T5 swap

So as many of you know, I just did a T5 swap.  It's great.  Less weight, less drivetrain loss, etc.  However, the weight loss has caused my front end to sit a little higher than before.  What springs do you guys use to get a nice stance (and how expensive are they)?  I plan to get a set of snowflakes soon, if that makes any difference.

5 lug swap isn't in the plan books for a while, I need new tires soon, and I want a change of pace from the stock 8 holes (for cheap!).  I think snowflakes would look great.

But just for fun...what kinda deal are you willing to make on those Mach 1 wheels?
