springworks.com or coilsprings.com 04 impala. i bought mine from coil springs. Told them i wanted it to hold a extra 1000 pounds. My trunk consists of 4 d3100 8 cu box and two rd heavyweights. Took them 3-4 weeks to make the springs and ship them out. I have no sag issues. I can take pics if anybody will like and i can also ride 3 people in the back as well if i wanted to

its obviously going to sag with 600lbs, but you may not even need new suspension. do you know your cars carrying capacity? mine has a sticker in side the drives side door. im rated for 1100lbs(2006 pontiac grand prix) so unless your carrying people around alot it, i dont see a problem. But if you dont get upgraded suspension and you feel as if the car is not handling as you want it of it feels like shit. then i would look at an upgrade.

after taking out the system/batteries in my lumina you could tell a huge difference... shes got a permanent sag to her and shes loose as hell (ha ha) putting in a bigger system means some air bags for me haha to help balance out things
