do you have sport suspension? If so you can use your oem shocks if you purchase a set of unrevised 03-04 coupe rear springs. If you dont have sport suspension then swap the coupe shocks and springs together.

It will give you a .5" drop and should be fine with OEM struts. Might cause a little extra wear but shouldn't be a problem for a long while. It will be a tiny bit stiffer but you probably won't notice.

All of this is answered in the "Read before you post" sticky.

no i dont have the sport.. but i want to replace the springs with something stiffer because my back is to soft when i go over humps with my 19" wheels in the back i scrape so im thinking of doing a fender roll in stiffer springs. i dont have enough $$ right now to upgrade to coilovers

You scrap at stock height?

Or do you mean rub? (wheel touches inside of fender)

You in California so you have access to a lot of used parts from our marketplace. You could probably find some used eibachs or teins for $200 or less.

You may also want to look in the suspension forum. There is a ton of information on this site about suspension options for the sedans.

well i rub right at the endge of the fender since im running 275 in the rear so my tire sticks out.. i even have these little spacer things in my prings to lift the back but if i have one person in the rear seats i rub every time and its tearing up the edge of my tire. so im thinking a fender roll might resolve the problem.. what do you guys think?

Then look for a set of copue revised shocks and springs. You can pickup a full coupe suspension for cheap. Def look in the suspension section though, you will find all your answers in there.

I would definitely look to get your fenders rolled. or get slightly smaller tires. 275 is pretty meaty.

Have you sorted out your offsets yet? If you're rubbing now, it'll just be worse til you tuck those rears in or go with narrower rubber.
