Hybrid Springs on an LX?

glennQNYC · 09-01-2006, 08:04 PM

I use my 06 LX sedan for work, and I'll almost always have the trunk filled with audio gear and work stuff (more audio gear). I noticed the Hybrid is slighly heavier than an LX and use different (part number) springs and shocks. I'm assuming Hybrid models use a stiffer-rate spring.
The shocks are expensive, but the rear springs are only $23.00 each

so I'm considering trying them to decrease sagging rear-end. Comments?
BTW... Shorter (performance) springs are not a consideration.

Just get a set for an Si. The Si is about 2 pounds heavier then the hybrid. The Si ones are also known to work.
