Default Semi stupid question regarding ssc lowering springs

I know this question is probably going to sound dumb but I'm going to ask anyway. I've been looking to get the 1.7 front and rear lowering kit on my gxp and I was wondering if the 12inch sub/box I have in the trunk will make the rear sag and ruin the look.

it will most likely look sagged with the 1.7/1.7 drop. as that spec drop alone has a level or almost sagged look.

Are there any other options besides the GXP 2.5/2 because I don't really want to go that low in the front?

IIRC you can have a custom spec set of SSC springs made if you contact them, I believe they are the same price also. . . maybe someone else can chime in about this.

How low do you want to go in the front?

well I liked the way dom's looks but i'd like it to be slightly higher in the rear than his. I dont want it to be too low because I have a long driveway and in the winter I dont feel like having my car be a snowplow

So your only looking for about an inch in the rear?
