Well as some of you know, I rep a very high end sub in my rear and she clocks in @ 76lbs plus box and amps and batteries your looking @ prob 150 of total cargo weight. I am even thinking of taking out my spare. Pointless to have it int here. I cant get it anyway if i needed it. Haha.

Anyway, car looks ridict. Snypa knows what it looks like, i am not home right now and making this thread on my droid so i cant upload a pic but i just cant put springs in the rear yet, no way can i drop that more. Struts seem to be holding up since october of last year when i got the sub, but i am selling her cause i cant take the dipping the car does and i dont even like taking any people in the back anymore. And that pisses off friends and my family but i really think it is sinking lower since last oct and its really annoying! But i will deal. Anyway she is pretty heavy most people want to trade or not wanna pay the $90 in shipping. So I want something for now, until i sell it to even up the front for not only looks and slight launch perfromence but also to not give away as much that i got gold bricks chilling in my trunk. Lol mine as well be, friggin cost a lot. Haha.


Sorry for the long thread but i like to explain things well to get good opions on what to do. I am willing to buy pairs of springs used or off someone but i dont want to drop to low in the front either. I also dont know if i am gonna have the car for longer then the next few years because shes already 195k but still purs, just depressing as all. So no i am not speing a grand in suspension.


Thanks forgive me for spelling and grammer. I type worse on a cellphone. Lol

Infinti u a funny kid lol


Yo S1, u kno im still tryin to see yo whip man.

U sure yur rear struts not goin? Thats what it sounds like to me, especially if the rear bouncy like that. I prolly got a 100 lbs in my trunk and no issues. I got a 12 and 70lbs in tools in the trunk. No bounce.

Dont take the spare out. Tunes is important but u gonna want that spare especially travelling down 495 at 1am . trust me bro.

Honestly, if u jus got 2 12s and accessories, u shd have no issues. I think rear struts blown.

S1cTech

Well the Rear is not bouncy at all. lol I have seen bouncy. on my friends blown struts LMAO. Great times great times, however I do see some extra bottoming out when I hit a nice *** city bump. I live in the city so it suck0rz

cashoit

It gat a lil droop, but dont look too bad. I seen worse. If the rear bouncy then rear struts gone

cashoit

bottoming out huh. Maybe springs are gone instead

Damn you guys are crazy putting all that weight in your trunk for some extra bumping... I have a single box 12" Premier dual coil woofer with an infinity reference amp the size of my 22" wide monitor and thats it... do you REALLY need all that? lol sorry I just cant imagine all that power/rattle

OEM springs will be a bit softer then aftermarket springs.
Go with some that have a mild drop and you should be right back at the height your currently at, with the fronts to match. The ears should be a bit stiffer, especially if you go with an adjustable strut setup.

Yes it is an everyday necessity.
I get out of breath unless them woofers are pushing more air into my lungs.

S1cTech

lol it is, but even the weight of your system man in the sig. Is not even close to ours. lol

cashoit

1200 watts peak / 300 watts rms is plenty power. Anythin more makes ur car a giant vibrator for da ladies lol

Mistertones

I had to 2 12" W7s in my accord, it didn't sag too much. A lot of weight yeah, but didn't notice much of a difference.

S1cTech

Which it does. :P but at 1500RMS.

I remember when I used to put an mdf box with 2 12s in the back. Once I made a fiberglass box 60% fiberglass/40% mdf) I can't see myself using all mdf again. Of course the box has to be properly made and it will be as strong as mdf if layered properly. Good sound, waaay less weight.

Well I have about 60 maybe 80 pounds in my trunk with a sub, amp, box, and the custom enclosure i made to hide it all, and a 80 lb or more of tools min, plus a full size tire, no donught, it used to sag some then I replaced the struts, had no sag sat normal, I also put Energy suspension bushing in the rear control arm's, besides the amazing diffrence in handling, they put the back end sitting where it should be with no sag at all so you could go that route its a cheap 30 dollars solution you wont regret. Just my 2 cents
