Got the hr-illumina setup last week, (Automatic Trans)went on vacation so the car sat for 7 days without driving. I noticed that it kinda looks like tha car is sagging, I have a 50lb sub though. I also noticed that the rear fender lip above the wheel sticks out more than the front which could be throwing me off. Its nothing drastic, but its noticable. how long does it take tot settle?

 

a 50 lb sub will make your car somewhat lower in the rear, when i put my subs in my car, the rear drops ever so slightly but its noticeable and looks very even compared to the front. i have the s-techs on the illuminas.

 

When my little one use to weigh that much I do not think the car dropped at all when she got in and out of the car.

Do you have and auto or 5spd? With H&R's the wheel gap will be smaller on the back of the car. Some people call this saggin but even when the car is not lowered this is still the case.

 

i have about 60lbs of bowling ***** in my trunk and it makes it sag noticabley. so yes it does cause some sag but im looking for a good suspension setup on a budget. does anybody have some suggestions?

 

I got yalls momma in my trunk and my max dont sag!lol

 

........

 

ive heard several people w/ H&Rs having that saggy rear look even w/out subs.

 

mannnn, i dont want no saggy a$$.

 

I am gonna measure by the rocker panels and see. But to the naked eye, the rocker panels seem to be level

 

i have the same suspension, and at least 100lbs of audio equipment in the trunk. if i measure the height of front the rear, there is only a 1/8 " difference

 

if the sag is that minimal, im gonna go ahead and get that set up anyway. It doesnt mean anything is wrong with any of the setup right? Its just simply that it sits a tiny bit lower?
how much does it bother you Formoraccordman

 

don't u guys think that would be too heavy on your rear suspension

 

extra 50lbs if really not good. car has to do more work thus use up more gas. bad for performance too

 

50 lbs?! Thats the weight of a 6 year old. That would be like saying that your dog can't take a ride with you and sit in the back because they are too heavy, let alone a full grown 175lb man.

 

Also, a sub is all the way in the trunk though, past the rear wheels. A person would be more in the middle of the car.. I seem to notice when I've got a few backpacks in my trunk, I'm not going to doubt that it makes a difference. As long as its not damaging anything, or unsafe to have a sag in the rear I'm still goin for the hr illumina set up

 

mine sags only a tad bit, but its barely noticeable. I have sub box that weights in at 120.3 lbs according to a bathroom scale. A couple of years down the line it will be probably be lower. My old '90 626 stood high in the rear and after 3 years of having this same box in the trunk it leveled it off. At least I don't have to lower my backend if I decide to get rims.

 

H&R's sag like some old ladies a$$!

 

Okay, so ironicly I don't have tape measurer but I DO have a bubble level. I found a level ground. I put the level in the middle of the rocker panel and according to the bubble, My car was perfectly level, even with the sub.

 

Time to go fiberglass...
