I need to upgrade my suspension since there is going to be a couple hundred pounds of stereo added to the car. The back end will obviously sag. Who makes a good adjustible coil over short setup? Or do you think a set of lowering springs and adjustible will be able to keep the car level and not sacrafice handling or the ride.

The only real coilovers available now that I know of are Ground Control and Cattman. Check out the stickies for more info.

From what I've been getting on the .org, it looks like coilovers will definitely sacrifice the ride although improving the handling. Don't know if you can have your cake and eat it too.
