    Alright so i have an audio setup that weighs probably close to 100 lbs if not more. I have a 4 cubic foot box i mean come on theres some weight there lol anyways the car sits lower in the back compared to the front with my sub and boc in the trunk. What can i do to fix it? New shocks? Struts? Im no suspension expert. Do shocks and struts come in dofferent strengths? Could i get new shocks that hold the weight up better? Thanks

    I have a 2001 SE with stock rear springs and KYB GR-2's all the way around that were put in at 65,000 miles-car has 125,000 now. The rear is too soft for my liking and the struts appear fine. I too would like to change the rear springs using the same KYB GR-2's. What is the difference between the GTP, GT, and SE rear springs in terms of their spring ratings-anyone know? I am thinking of changing the rear to GTP springs. Thanx.
