Height Adjustable Struts

Hey guys, I searched the forums serveral times and can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I have a 2004 ex coupe with skunk2 springs. I also have subs in the trunk, so my car sit lower in the back than in the front. I've been trying to find some height adjustable struts that I could put all the way around my car and try to get it a little more level. Any help would be appreciated. THX

Struts don't regulate height the springs do. Your shocks are probably blown which in some cases can cause sagging.

I know that the springs adjust height, but I was wondering if they made adjustable height struts. Ever since I put the springs on, my car has been lower in the back due to my subs. My struts are ok as of now probably another 6 months before I need new ones.

There are no such thing as height adjustable struts. You might have to get coilovers to solve your problem.

Well yea ultimately I will have to get coilovers but that's to much money right now. Savin up for a turbo. But all I want is the strut from a coilover without the spring. That strut it height adjustable and I was wondering if someone sold just that.

You can't use progressive lowering springs on coilovers. Read the FAQ.
You either do springs and shocks, sleeved coilovers on shocks (essentially DIY coilovers) or you buy a full set of threaded coilovers.

You can call Koni and see if they'll custom make you a set of rear dampers with a higher spring perch, but I guarantee you they're not gonna be cheap.
