Spring question...

Hey,

I just installed my sub box in the rear trunk well..
now my car sits a little low in the rear.

My question is this:
Will Eibach's 1.something in. lowering springs have the rating to maintain a level stance??
Or will they sink like most?

What would you guys recommend?

Most springs are designed for stock weight loads and don't account for a trunk load of audio goodies. How much does it all weigh?

I'm not really certain how much it actually weighs... The box is made from 3/4" MDF, so I would guess with what I have in there, the additional weight is around 70 -80 lbs. Does that sound anywhere near accurate??

I was hoping that more people would respond to this, but if you can help me out, I would appreciate it!

Might be your springs are starting to sag. My old box and 2 10W6s were 75ish pounds and it didnt really make any rear height difference in my car with the stock or Hotchkis springs.
