Coilover help

I am looking into getting a set of BC Racing coilovers with the extreme low option and a spring rating of 18/16. Because I am also putting a heavy subwoofer in my trunk I will have about an extra 150 or so pounds in added weight at all times. I am wonder how much of an impact this will have on the ride and if I should bump up to a higher spring rating in the rear.

You should be fine. I'm running 16/12 and have had a backseat full of passengers and the car still road fine. with a 18/16 you should be perfect.

is the 12/10k spring rate set up still to soft or should i go with something in the 14 to 16/12k range like yours? I would be coming from Tein CS Version 1 which are still kinda bouncy at max dampening.

thanks North...
