advice please..

k..here's what's going down..
or should i say "up"..

i'm putting the stock springs back on my car this weekend (at least i hope they can fit it in..)

so...what are the chances i can leave the "sportlines" on the front and just take the rears back to stock??
reason i ask is because i do plan on adding weight to the **** end (woofers/amps etc..) so it should drop somewhat from the weight..

or...leave the fronts "sportlines" again, but pull the backs for now until i have a chance to have a 1/2" to 3/4" shim welded to the rear "sportlines" so the drop isn't so extreme when i put them back in..

or...sell the entire set of "sportlines" and go with the Eibach "Pro" kit.. (1" drop)

or...buy a set of "Pro" and just put on the rears, again leaving the fronts "sportlines"

things is, the rear end is pissing me off BIG TIME (my stock exhaust has begun to scrape when using my underground..i'd hate to have an after-market on there..) but the front end is freakin' amazing........

advice from the experts please????????????

If it were me....i'd go all around with the same model of springs...
i'm just curious whether having two different sets of springs in there would upset chassis dynamics because of the difference in spring rates....

Instead of hassling with taking the springs off, why not consider wrapping the dead coils? That might give you an extra 1/4-1/3".

Thicker wouldn't actually be better, but yeah... just like the stock ones would do just fine.
