You might consider lowering the rear only - it actually raises the angle of the front a tad... the rear is easy to do, the gap is bigger in the rear than the front, and it gets rid of the "butt in the air" of the standard "rake".
I lowered the rear of both my Pts and have no regrets.
The front is low enough already!
Also, agree with the painted vs chrome rims - I have painted, daughter & her husband have chrome - mine hold up much better, and with a silver car, the wheels match.

I've mostly seen sets.. But check ebay/craigslist/local paper you never know what comes up.
