How will it worsen an already sagging suspensions handling?

Of course, I guess I'm just ghetto for thinking If you don't have the coin to drop on coil overs its a totally acceptable way of raising the rear end 1/2". Especially considering coilovers are only gonna set you back what... a grand??

Damn how many subs did you have installed? It must have added quite a bit of weight to lower the car to an unacceptable level (175-200 lbs?) I could not find the other thread you started sorry if the answer is in there...

prob about 300 lbs, but its not the subs, its the case and the batteries...and the list goes on and on, but the subs were something like 75 each...

Ah, I did not think of that. Good luck with the suspension.

Lots of places sell em.

Basically they are just a lil plastic rubber tube that goes into the middle of your spring, you fill it up with air, and it'll help raise the rear end. They really work.
i just did some in depth looking and i saw that most of them say they are for SUVs and trucks, do you think they will work on my car?

I used the in my Mustang, that I dropped a Cobra IRS in to help with both traction at the strip, as well as raise the rear ride height because the springs I put on dropped it lower than the front springs I had on there.

I had no complaints, of course though my rears won't already sagging.
