Lower the front or raise the rear. Either way you need new springs. The current springs may just be old.

Something to remember is that the front wheel wells are a little bigger than the rear. This is a styling thing. So there is more fender gap in the front normaly. Take a look at the side pics on my supra engine swaps page for a good example. Your springs may be just right.

For a more uniform look as well as better handeling you can lower the car (front or all four).

Oh another possible cause of sagging is old shocks/struts.
