Heres the quick & dirty.

The back end of my hatch sags low, too low.

The reason for this is of course all the car audio equipment.

I intend on adding more to the back end so my question to you guys is what route should I go and which which work best.

I want there to be minimal wheel gap but if it means saving money then I can deal with it.

Should I either put 2 of my stock springs back in for the rear or should I try and get a hold of 2 NF210's?

I'd just go with a set of stock springs.

I'd get air shocks, or use a set of spring rubbers. If you need a set of spring rubbers, I've got some.

Coilovers. That way you can be low, and the ride will be firm.

i was going to post this, ive been looking at getting some for mine, but for the purpose of raising spring rate... what size did you use? and how did they effect height?

I don't think you should consider going for NF210's since they won't give you more than 0.5" of extra space. I think you should try going back to stock springs in the rear (at least you can give it a shot for free).
