Need some insight...

I just had a new stereo installed in my TL and I noticed that my car looks a little "back-heavy" when I stand back and look at it.
I'm thinking that it may be the sub and amps that are installed in the trunk.

Anyways, I'm looking to purchase some springs for my car in the hopes to restore the posture (and lower the car at the same time). If I purchase a set of springs, is it a good idea to buy a set of shocks as well? Does Acura provide services to install this stuff?

I need a little insight here... Thanks.

I think it's possible to install lowering springs on factory struts!! The struts are still relatively new after all!! But, don't quote me on this, as I've never done it!! Hopefully someone will chime in with more info about it...good luck man!!

If you want to get rid of that rear end being lower than the front, you're gonna have to get Comptech Springs, If you wanted an even look, get H&R Sport Springs....however, since u want to get a system and therefore add more weight to the rear, get the comptechs...they provide a more rake look and thus will offset the extra weight in the rear....as for shocks, I would get new shocks and install them at the same time with the springs.....most acura dealerships will install comptech parts....but they are a ripoff....i would go to a reputable garage.....gluck man and post pics when u r done...
