is this a joke?

OEM Type-R suspension, OEM 17x7 Type-R wheels on 205-45-17 tires...

What was the point of all this?

i guess the reason for the missing sunroof is the same reason why bmw doesnt have sunroofs for some of their m series cars

"chassis rigidity and weight"

k, so i searched. never found any threads that compare an si to a type r so whatever. how about this question.. how about a suspension thats tough enough for about 3-400 lbs of audio equipment behind the back seat... or did somebody already ask that question.

No one needs to ask that specific question to figure it out.

What you want is a stiff rear suspension.

For example, my Progress rear spring rate is 650 lb/in. (which I'm selling BTW)

i figured as much. but the question was more along the lines of what suspension companies offer stiff suspensions. also if i want to drop it an inch can i do that and not have to worry about rubbing. the cars gonna be a rolling spl egg

almost every suspension company offers stiff suspensions. its not hard to search. you can get custom rates from several of them. Function & Form, Progress, Buddy Club, etc.

if you're interested in my Progress coilovers PM me.
