Squatting too much.
Well I just got my car back and the stereo is complete, but now the weight in the trunk weighs down the rear that now my rear tires are tucking. My left side appears to be tucking more but it also looks like the negative camber is alot more too. Can i adjust the camber and raise the rear back up? Or should i get different springs for the rear. I currently have Neuspeed Sport springs. I like the front the way it is, can i just buy 2 springs somewhere? Don't say coilovers either, not enough money for them. But i don't like how my car squats down that much in the rear.

Rep Power: 321 I was thinking maybe stock springs would do it, cause it looks like it drop my rear about an inch or so. What do you guys think about that.

I think u would need something stiffer than stock springs. I have stocks and have the same problem as u do. hella negative camber. The dealer was rotating and blancing my tires and they were like wtf? why is it like this and they couldnt fix it. its gotta be the stereo

You can re-align the car for the camber. but the only way to fix the weight issue is to put stiffer springs in the back. You can try something like spring rubbers to raise the spring up if you're trying to gain something like 1/4 an inch, but if its a lot, get heavier springs.

Rep Power: 321 I like the look i have in the front right now. So if i put stock springs in the back would that raise the rear back up? So mixing springs would mess my car up?

Rep Power: 360 well i got an 01 sedan but my stock suspension has the rear down a few inches... about 1.5-2 inches. I am thinking of just getting new springs for the front and thats it cause the car is level, no more of that slight lean forward.

Rep Power: 0 Get B&G's or Teins, there really isnt anything you could do about the height without changing ur current suspension setup. Save your money and do the change, if not stop complaining and deal with it, "Not to be rude" ;-)

Rep Power: 0 i think you'll be alright putting stock springs back in the rear. i know there are others out there that have mixed sets. it's just like brakes, tires or struts... as long as you do them in pairs, you're straight.
sure you might lose a bit in the corners, but at least your *** won't be dragging anymore. no lie... that tuck is serious, man.
