I bought a set of TENZO-R springs about 2 months ago (new) drop 2." front and rear. then i built a custom box to hold my two ECLIPSE TITANIUM 12" subs witch weigh in around 35+ lbs each and including all the MDF board and other two ZAPCO amps witch gives me around 100+ lbs in the back. Now my back fender gap is around 0 (no gap) and the front is about 1/2'' gap. These springs are very stiff before the stereo install and know my car just bottoms everywhere in the a@#4.:(
I'm on a budget and was wondering what route should i go, I just got done putting on the stock rear springs and the car is hella raked, but rides alot better. plain A: i was thinking of cutting the stock rear springs (leveling car out), plain B:buying a set of tein s-tech (around 160+) and just using the rears(s-tech drop 1.5 so that would level maybe), plain C: buying the skunk2 coil-overs( can get for $200 includes shipping) but i keep reading that these coil-overs ride is very stiff..
I love my system and hit's incurably hard, i will not part with so any good suggestions would help...

im on skunk2 on the lowest settings and it rides smooth, i think my front shocks are blown so itll bottom out on very hard bumps

the S techs should have less of a bottoming out effect but the stock shocks just can't handle much more then stock drop.

I guessed from all the bargain-basement brands you had listed there.

You should be happy with S-techs.
