So I wanna lower my car (bout 2 inches) , was thinking bout springs since they're way cheaper.
But the problem is I want an EVEN drop... and right now, my 2 twelves in the trunk make my rear lower than the front...
What do I do?

hey 187, off topic but did you get those 9 mm spacers installed yet?
i have an AWD 250 dropped on springs and i get vibrations all of the time; idle, 0-20 with wobble, and at higher speeds. except today when driving into work. when taking long swooping turns, i could feel the vibration in the gas pedal and floor start.
i have an appt with Lexus next Friday to try and diagnose it. i'm close to buying coils from CM but still unsure. i don't want the problem to transfer from springs to coils.

gotta go with coilovers. the only other cheaper option would be to get two sets of springs, one 2" set and one 1" set. use the aggressive set for the fronts, and the conservative for the rears. then youll have spares if you ever remove the subs and want an all around mild drop or aggressive drop....of course, you may be the first to try it. as most ppl willing to spend $$ on subs are usually willing to spend $$ on coilovers. i cant really say how well this would work...
for $400, you could get a tein s set and a tein h set. use the s up front and the h in the rear.

i JUST put the megan coils on mine and the ride is almost exactly like stock!! Im amazed. no clunking or squeaks.
I too wanted to be able to adjust for the sub in the trunk....now the possibilities are endless.

I wouldn't worry too much about the sound system weight. 100lbs sounds about right. The spring rates are in thousands of pound increments. It's similar to filling your tank with gas. Your car doesn't drop any lower after you fill it with 17 gallons of gas weighing 6lbs each gallon. 17x6= 102 lbs.
