new springs up front, lowered ones available after market and either lowering blocks in rear or reset springs if you want to do it right.
Or flip a leaf in the rear. Look at the wiki

Cut 1/2 coil in front, 1" lowering blocks in rear.

what model 1200 is it? something like a ute needs to be lowered much more than an inch in the rear to even out with the front. why only an inch? it'll be barely noticeable and you guys don't have laws stating it has to be 100mm off the ground etc. do ya?

Just the law of good taste
Speaking of tast, I prefer the front lower than the rear but then I'm a 60s guy. Younger folks seem to like it even all 'round. An inch will be good, allow some supension travel yet look better. 2" will look more lowered but you will have very little suspension travel (rough, bouncy ride).

nah cars look way better when they're super low, so much more tasteful. you just gotta do it properly with shortened struts, stiffer shocks etc.
