Suspension advice

I will finally be getting my wheels and tires and would like some input on a suspension upgrade. The wheels are 19x8 with 245/35-19 tires.

Ride quality is my biggest concern. I will also order struts at the same time.

The only problem is that because of the stereo in the rear it would take a ton of labor hours to even get to the top of the strut tower. The weight has actually lowered the rear about 1.5" already so lowering the front only would even out the car. Is this a possible safety issue?

What strut/spring combination would fit my needs the best? I have looked at the poll thread (http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=281194) and will probably order from ImportCarPartsP (http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=322033). Thanks for the help.

Yes its a safety issue. take out the stereo and do it the right way, or the car will NOT handle properly.
