I'm going to be getting new wheels and tires within the next two weeks and before I post pictures and hear "Nice 4x4" I want some opinions on a suspension upgrade. I have a few problems do the stereo that I think make this decision a little tougher. Because the stereo has most of it's weight right on the rear beam it already sags at what would normally be a nice lowered ride height. In addition to that because of the way the box was constructed:

Picture 1: Box no carpeting



Picture 2: Finished with carpeting




I really don't see an easy way to replace the rear struts.

So, my question, is what would lower the front the best so it didn't look like a 4x4 and what should I do about the rear?

 

maybe hybird will work? i'm not sure...tein-s in the front and maxspeed in the rare?...or maxspeed all the way...

you def don't want to do just the fronts, though...if you do, your front and rear springs will have different spring rates and handling will not be good...

btw, I hope you never have to actually put anything in that trunk!

 

Thanks for the great site, the how-to's looked very informative. The trunk is actually quite roomy. I've gotten one of the huge ARMY duffle bags in there as well as being able to fit a set of golf clubs (not at the same time). However, the reason I mentioned the trunk setup is because I think it would be next to impossible to get to those bolts without spending a day removing the stereo, any suggestions?

 

yeah, you'd have to take the box out to get to the rear struts....unless....maybe you could get at them through the back seat - unless your box sits right up against the back seat, that is.
