Default Extra weight affecting springs??

OK.. so here's the question of the day. Since my subs weight roughly 150~200 lbs. sitting in my trunk, I've noticed that my back end sits lower than my front end... I was seriously planning on buying a set of Hotchkis lowering springs very soon, but now that I am noticing this, do you think that coilovers would be a better choice?? Maybe even swap out the stock shocks and put the TRD shocks in?? I want to get a nice leveled out drop.. I don't want to drop it more in the rear than in the front or vice versa.. Any thoughts on this? Or do you think that the added weight in the back won't drop the rear more?

im gonna guess you weigh roughly 150+ so if you sit in the front it should even out. lol.

what you should do is come to colonial park mall and we should cruise around.
