Ok...

I have 100 some-odd pounds of stereo gear in my trunk...and I'm sure the sound deadening doesn't lighting things.

Currently I am running stock springs and don't think I'll be lowering it this year [going back to school so - effectively broke].

My problem is that the rear end is squatting too low and god help me if anyone is sitting in the back. Last year, when the summers were on, the rear wheels were hitting the fender tops constantly - causing the lip inside the fenders to flare and the sidewalls the get all nicked. I can't seem to find any "Stock Height" heavier springs and I'll be damned if it put those stupid rubber bumpers in. Is my only choice adjustable height springs or does anywhere know where I can get a spacer to raise the rear end?

Sorry to not really help answer your question. Consider this a bump, I guess. And maybe this will clarify for others who can answer anyway: how much weight are we really talking here? To me, "100 some-odd" means between 100 and 200 lbs, which is a pretty normal weight for an average-sized human being. And that much weight wouldn't lower the back of your car all that much. You must have more than 200 lbs back there to be having problems, right?
