Sedan Springs w/stereo??

OK I have searched. Are there any springs (not coil overs) that can handle a persons worth of stereo equipment in the trunk. I had goldlines and they said that "there spring rates were not designed for extra weight." I am thinking to myself WTF I can't have two people in the car. The equipment is located mostly to the front most part of the trunk. All I want is to lower the car to lose the gap with out sagging, is it possible???

I have 2 12's in a heavy box and have no sagging I am riding on Koni's and Neuspeed race, you might want to replace your shocks that is the cause of sagging most of the time.

Was your vehicle "sagging" in the rear with Gold Line springs? If so, please let us know. We would be more than happy to address this matter with you.

I was in contact with your company already, I should have saved the emails. I was angry about the answer I received so I sold them.

I'm not sure who it was that you talked/wrote to but, there is not a company in this industry that offers better customer service than Gold Line. I'm sure that anybody on this forum who has dealt with Gold Line would agree.

However, regardless of which springs you use, if you pile stereo equipment into the trunk of the vehicle the rear ride height "will" be adversly effected. Your only option is going to be coil overs. Coil overs will fix that issue due to the fact that the spring rates are entirely too high and that you can adjust the ride height to compensate for the additional weight.

ey whussup jeff, your back... how come your not using the other sn 'goldline'?

Cokafka, if you HAVE to go with springs.. best best is neuspeed sports for sedan... the rear will probably be lower due to the extra weight but it wont be as badd as it was with goldlines cause goldlines springs are on the softer side and neuspeed are on the stiff side...
you can also get koni yellows. they have an adjustable rear perch. you can set it to normal or .5-1" higher. setting it at the higher clip should even out the drop..
