Okay so I work a desk job and I'm not as active as I used to be... Lately I've noticed ... wait a second! wrong forum!

The real question is this: I've got about 80lbs of stereo gear in the trunk of my civic plus I'm no lightweight myself and I've noticed that the rear of the car sits a touch low. All suspension is stock 97LX fare. I'm wondering if there's a set of rear integra springs or Si springs or something that would have enough stiffness in them to combat the sag and bring the rear up that extra half inch it needs. Something like original unladen ride height.

I searched and read a bunch about integra springs but nothing that really seemed to answer my question. Anyone got any cheap ideas?
thanks

man... gym memberships aren't that expensive
your car is 8 yrs old , maybe time to replace worn/used parts ... but ask in the suspension forum and you'll find what you're looking for.. seek and ye shall find.

Can 80lbs really drop the rear a 1/2''?

you should see what 50 pounds in the back of a G35 does lol

yes 80 pounds can drop it that much

Cheap? HMMM.....cut the front springs to even it out.

OK, so like jax si said, maybe replace them with OEM. You can get them cheap if you look around the web, but you'd be surprised at how much wear you'll get in 8 years. I prefer my Tein's, however.

you can get integra rated springs no problem! Just talk to a good spring company and tell them you are drag racing and need some stiff *** springs in the rear!! J/K. But they do sell integra rated springs that people use on swaps and whatnot.

Thanks for the tips guys. I think I'll check out some local junkyards for a low mile integra. eBay might be alright too but I'd hate to get reamed out shipping a set of springs to the east cost of Canada

I've got some stock civic springs if you want them. $20.

this is the first thread i've seen where someone wants to raise their ride height

look for 94+ up rear integra springs. It shouldn't be no more that $20 usd or you can purchase a complete shock and spring rear combo from the junkyard so you can install this by yourself.

Or get Ground Control adjustable sleeve coilovers if your budget allows.
