The rake remains the same. You could lower just the rear with rear springs, but yes it would negatively affect handling and look a little silly. If you are concerned about the H&R 1.25"-1.5" drop go with TechArt springs which are a more modest .75" drop, bringing the car (with PASM's .25" drop) to approx drop of the factory sport suspension (not avail in NA)
This is what I'm leaning towards.

Some updated pics. I'm still pleased with the springs but my steering wheel is slightly off center after the alignment which is bugging me.
I also just applied Jeff's Werkstatt and needed to take some pics.

Your car looks great.
Champion Porsche quoted me $1600 parts, labor and allignment
for the H&Rs. thought it was a little high. Do I understand you
correctly that the labor and allignment was $1000 plus the cost
of the springs or did the $1000 include every thing?

I paid $800 for the install (non PASM) +$175 for the alignment at my dealer, not including the $349 for the springs (purchased online).
