im in the process of changing my shocks struts and springs. i got the rear done today and still have to do the fronts. i have the mach 1000 stereo and that stuff weighs a ton. i was wondering if they use a little stiffer spring in the rear to compensate for the extra weight. also i forgot to measure the fender to tire before i started to do the work but i checked after and my right side front and back is a quarter to a half inch higher then the left side. whats the deal? all isolaters were put back in on the back.

I also have the Mach 1000 audio, and it is pretty heavy, but not that heavy. Maybe 30-40 lbs tops..
I wouldn't imagine the spring companies don't do anything differently to compensate. However, I noticed a HUGE difference when I filled my first tank of gas after the springs/shocks. Car dropped like at least 1/2", if not more. Just a thought about your rears being different heights...I did my springs/shocks w/ the e-brake set (of course). My rears were sitting a little odd as well, but they leveled out once I dropped the e-brake....not sure if you already did this (also, springs should settle after being driven for a little while).
