Is there any springs I can swap out for the rear ones that will support more weight? I have about 400lbs in the back in audio equipment, so it sags a little.

1st gen Integra springs and RSX springs are a direct swap if I remember correctly. However for me the best solution is to make a top hat adapter so you can use the more modern smaller diameter springs.
Oh, you don't know if it's legal?
you're in california of coarse it's ILLEGAL!!!!!

Try Chedda Auto.

He has rear spring adapters to run a 2.5" spring in the rear of our cars.

Hypercoil has a large selection of 2.5" springs in a variety of heights and rates.

    • Drives: in circles. I did take a right out of turn four once and regreted it.
Chedda sells em too. The spring adapter. I need to go that route.....

Edit: 3rd gen sinner beat me by one minute....... Chedda's stuff is nice (understatement). I'm bout to order a shifter linkage bushing kit (orgasm). Probably the spring adapter/bushings (orgasm) also. Seems to be an inexpensive way to add lots of rear spring options.

Call Ground Control and get their rear coilover kit with a custom heavy duty spring rate.
