Tanabe springs

one thing to remember is tanabe springs tend to have a boat look where the rear sits lower than the front. it's their thing for some reason.

My problem is I had Eibach's put on, but because I have a sub box in the back (+120lbs~) in the rear of the car, it Squatted... I want to lower it, and was wondering if Coilovers with adjustable dampening is my only route, or if there is a set of springs that will hold the extra weight?

I can attest to this. As slight as it was, it did seem like the rear was a wee tad bit lower than the front. Since I run a 35 series tire on the front as opposed to the stock 40 series, it fixed any of that.

Yep.. seems true for their coilovers as well.. Have Tanabe's coils on both my wife's RX-8 and on our Cube. On full low the fronts are definitely higher than the rear.
