Default Depends on what springs you are getting and what drop you want...

I'm going to be running them with hyperco springs and am only getting the fronts grooved since the rear height looks good to me, I just want the front a little lower.

Default I think the springs don't give an even drop...

They don't drop as much in the back as in the front, so I would probably get both front and rear grooved. Do a search for pics of people who have this setup to see what you like and make you decision based on that.
