I recently bought coil springs and GR2 shocks all around for my 67 mustang. I didn't have enough money to buy the leaf springs but I get payed this Friday and I'm looking to buy this. Ever since I put the GR2's in the rear the back sits really low. What kind of leaf springs would raise the rear?

if you have the original leafs just getting new ones will raise it up, i went with a mid eye ( lower than stock ) and it was higher than the old worn out springs i replaced that were standard-eye

Well, aging leaf springs, especially standard rate, will be low. If you want OEM GT rate springs, and save money, you can get them complete with eye bolts, U bolts, and shackles for $165.

You can get standard eye (stock ride height), mideye (1" lower) or reverse eye (2" drop). The standard should get you close to stock height when they were NEW, might be quite higher than you are now due to aging/sagging. What is the measurement from the ground to your fender lip at the center of the wheel well now?

Just to give you an idea I have a '67 Coupe with 15" wheels and with 4 1/2 leaf mideyes my fender lip is 24.5" from the ground and sits level with my tire tread, standard leafs should be 1" higher than that or ~25.5-26" best guess.
The 4 leaf springs would probably be close to stock ride also.
