What to spend this weeks paycheck on...need help deciding!
So I recently discovered I have an SLE and I was planning on building a box and putting a new sub in it since I blew my kicker, but since my rear CCR struts failed inspection and were replaced with regular struts I dont know if I should install new ELC struts or get the sub.
Help me decide!
Option 1 : New sub + box
Option 2 : New rear ELC air struts.
Thanks for any suggestions, I'm torn on this one =).

Ok..let'* preface by saying I'm joking:
You have an SLE.. do the subs.. car won't move fast enough to need the performance. Remember Geoffs saying "They spelled SLOW wrong"
Honestly now, I would be doing the struts. Handling is very important to the car and your safety.

ELC struts are not the same as CCR
ELC struts are inflated via the air compressor to level the car ride height. CCR is an electrical current provided to the oil/grease in the struts that either increases or decreases the fluiditity. This changes the feel of the strut. Say for example w/o power you are in performance mode and the strut is stiffer, when you apply power the grease moves more freely and the strut gives a softer ride.
