What is the best way to lower the the rear of a coupe, I want to get it to match the front but dont want to sacrifice ride or perfomance ?

The 'best' way to lower it is to have the springs reset. Having the main leaf reversed as part of the whole spring rebuild process is a good idea.
Now, you can't have it both ways. If you lower the rear, you will lose some of your ride quality, no matter how you do it. If nothing else, you will have less axle travel available, & if the rear springs are properly reset, the ride will be a little stiffer as well. It's all a matter of balance. The more you lower it, the more you will pay for it in other ways that relate to ride & comfort.
