no... it will just ride like you have a fat chick in the car.

haha and prob **** gas like a mofo.

540ish pounds really isn't THAT bad for fuel economy. You might notice a slight difference in gas mileage, but not much.

bad part is it'll all be in the rear of the car right? thinking of how much weight will eventually hurt your rear suspension......

 

[Tonyguy 10+ year member]

you'll definitely notice your car being slower.

BTW, what exactly are you throwing in? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

i didnt really think it made that much difference till i drove a stock car just like mine... man lol

you could put the svt springs in the rear as they have a higher spring rate.

Wanna know for sure? Go buy some bags of topsoil or concrete or even some patio stones. All you need is 540 lbs of material. Throw them in the back, drive around, then return them. You spend no money, only time and you will know exactly what it is going to feel like.

its got roush stage 2 suspension, but I'm putting 4 15 aq hdc3s in the new ones 2 ma hk 4000ds 4 kintetik 2000s and a 4th order bandpass taking out backseat so it will kinda be middle to back of car

Wow. Keep us updated. I'm thinking of throwing some blocks in my suspension.

Other than acceleration & braking, ride quality will have changed.If you have stiffer springs to start with,you'll prolly enjoy this added weight to the vehicle.Stock rear suspension may or may not sag with the weight though. You'll be fine

My car had a bad sag. I tried telling my car that it wasn't black.
