sagging rear end with maxspeeds
just curious if anyone else has had problems with their car sagging really bad in the rear with maxspeeds, its obviously from my system but is there anything i can do to fix this other then coil overs, my rear sits at least an inche lower then the front.

Well just by judging from your cardomain 1st page I can see part of the reason...
-You are a 5spd so there is about 70lbs? less weight in the front than auto Maximas with Maxspeeds.
-2 Punch hx2 12's in a slot ported box...those have to weigh at least 100 or so lbs.
Was that pic the day of the install? Does it still sag that much?
*I have Eibachs and with or without subs my car never sagged. (5spd too)

Dont know if you've tried it already, but have you tried taking everthing out of the trunk and seeing if the car still hangs low like that? if so then you know its due to what you have in the rear and may need different springs, or if it still hangs low could be another issue all together (blown shock?)
