Default Need some help!

I have a 99 civic ex and I do stereo comps with it. Just got finished with the new build and didnt really think about how much weight i was putting in the trunk. Now the back end sits about 1.5" to 2" lower than the front, and the tires rub. Is there any thing i can do to fix this. It has 17" rims and has not been lowered. Already tried the spacers that go in between springs, didnt help at all.

The spacers in the springs aren't going to do much because you are not changing the spring rate. The rear springs on these cars are VERY soft, which is why your car dropped so much.

Coilovers will do the trick. You can adjust the height to w/e you want and just about all coilovers come with much stiffer springs than stock so the car wont sag quite as much from the weight.

Bought the skunk2 coilover kit and now it actually sits a little lower, so those are coming off and now i am out about $340. Will see if i can return them! Am going to try coilovers on front and lower them to match the back and buy smaller tires all around.
