Question about s14 drop

My sits horribly low in the back because of my system that is really big! But I want to put it down a little and acutally wanted to go with a ProKit which is 1.0 in the back and 1.2 in the front after it settles. I want to know whether or not it would be a good idea to do this. Would the stronger springs actually leave my back the way it is since it looks like it is dropped an inch? Or would the springs drop it from where it is and leave my wheels in the trunk?!?

If your system is really big u could just go with sportlines in the front and prokits in the rear but i dunno how the ride quality would be

OR you could just redistribute the weight on your car like put and amp or sub closer to the front

I was thinking about that but the only way to bring it up closer, since it is all custom right now, would be to take out the back seat and have something built there. The system is 3 JL 10s and a JL 15 in a false floor. Kinda big.

Then you will have the money to get tein or Ground-control coilovers. I know for sure with Ground-control you could just request a 50 lbs stiffer spring rate in the rear to make you for the weight difference.

Just because of the system doesn't mean I have a ton of money to throw around, expecially now since I just bought up 2 tuned KA24DE engines. Both are bored out and completely worked and I have 3 port and polished cylinder heads for them. I got them off a friend for next to nothing so I will let them go for next to nothing if anyone is interested. Anyways my insurance paid for the false floor and the 15 and I have a friend that owns a sound store and he got these 3 JL 10s in with the box and I only paid 100 bucks for that.

I say go with the Tein's since it will be a good investment. And you will have some far superior springs than most companies can offer.
