Help with rear end sag . . .
Help with rear end sag . . . Well, my car has 65k miles and 100+ pounds of audio gear in the back so she's gettin' the motorboat look. I know that's fairly common on these cars but I'm not going to lighten her up and I want something that will last. What's the easiest way to fix this and what's the best way? I really don't want a lowered car but might be willing to drop the front only .75 - 1" to even it out if that's the permanent solution. Am I better off putting new rear stock springs on? Does someone make an aftermarket stock height spring? Is there a front spring with that small of a drop available (SS springs?)? Eventually I WILL be doing Strano's sways front and rear and revalved Bilsteins IF that makes any difference - both stock at the moment.
Thanks for any help!

You might find the Gabriel air shocks out back
a tolerable way to go; I've been satisfied with
mine although since going back to the stock
rears minus the donuts, the ride attitude is a
bit more to my liking so I leave the air pressure
about zero anymore.

I'd suggest air bags. Air Lift makes a rear kit for our cars. It's under $100. You can add and subtract air (spring) as you see fit. You aren't stuck with spring rate "X" only....
While the idea is similar to the Gabriel air shocks.... this is a much better options as far as I'm concerned because you can still use excellent shocks with the air springs.
And they are super easy to install.

You could, but you also need different springs (shorter) to make up for the height of the perch and that adds more cost.
Also they aren't as easily adjustable as just adding some air....
