even drop with system in the trunk?

Yep, another drop question. Anyways, the reason i'm asking this is because i am currently dropped on HR Sports but once i add my subs in the trunk my ass will sag like a mofo. I've seen someone's car (sorry forgot your name) at the socal meet with HR sports in the back and Eibach Pros in the front but the back still sagged lower than the front with subs in the trunk. Anyone gone with a combo that keeps the car relatively even dropped with subs in the rear? What about HR Race springs up front and sports in back? Thanks

Oh and if this has been posted before then

Coilovers would be your best bet.

Do you have the new H&R Sports (the 50103 version) or the older ones? The newer are supposed to correct that problem and should probably be ok even with a system. Those are the ones that I plan on getting.

you would want to try H&R OE in the back and the Sport in the front, only if you have a really heavy system though

You may want to check your modle# of H&R Springs, The just recently (last month) H&R sorted out the saggin' in the rear problem with the TL springs. they were origionally putting Accord springs in the TLs. They looked good and worked, but because the TL is heavier in the rear than the Accord, if you added a system to a TL with accord springs the rear would sag (the problem you are having).

They were doing the combo OE and Sport when they realized the rear was saggin with a system (easy to tell the front are black and the rear are grey)

And recently they have fixed it and have put out a set designed for the TL. I have them in my car now, I have a system, probably about an extra 100lbs, just a 12inch (but it's over 40 lbs alone) and a box, with a couple of amps and a cap. my car doesn't sag in the rear at all. I had them done over two weeks ago and they have settled to a finger and a half at the front and the back, perfect in my opinion, I think the race ones would look cheap (with the tire tucked under the wheel looks unprofessional).

hm the reason being that comptech is a little on the pricey side >_<. What's the finger gap front and back w/ the comptechs as opposed to the new H&R Sports? (with system)
