Raising Kit?

Hi my names ted and im new to this forum, im planning on decking out my 2001 impala with a big stereo, the trunks gonna weigh about 200-300 lbs, and i need to beef up the suspension cause with just about 150lbs back there she sags pretty good and i catch muffler tip every now and then when i go up a driveway entrance or somthing angled like that, i need somthing that will take alot of weight, and better handling would be nice too, thanks much for the help

01, and youre sagging w/ 150 lbs??? sounds like you just need to replace the rear struts/springs

When i goto the track, i have 2 slicks + tools/jacks/stands/sometimes luggage, easily 150+ and im not dragging (stock suspension)

Might want to look into OEM 9C1 (police pkg) or SS rears, theyre stiffer than the normal ones and may support the weight better.

either that or bag it
