- Fri Oct 10, 2008 7:19 pm #73663 Another post on suspension.....well, I have been considering going with the Eibach Sportline system plus. It is essentially Sportline springs, dampeners, and F&R swaybars. I can pick up the whole system for $300 less then the coilovers, so I thought I would get some opinions.

Anyone out there using this? Any pics of ride height?


I know of the prokit also, but I am worried it will not lower my car enough. I am not looking to be slammed, but I do have a fair amount of fender gap. I think the sportlines would match my car best.....opinions?




Eibach says 1.6 F&R, but I have heard more......I realize it's an average but I just want to get an idea.

- Sat Oct 11, 2008 12:24 am #73689 Are those sportlines in the kit? I thought the sportlines were linear but those appear to be progressive.

The prokit is progressive, so it's more comfortable on the street. And softer spring rates grip better on the kinds of surfaces you're most likely to encounter when daily driving. But you will be disappointed as the drop is quite modest.

I hate slammed cars as well. I hate how the ride, handle, and look. Between 1.5 and 1.75 inch drop works great on our cars depending on how steep the driveways are where you live.

- Sat Oct 11, 2008 3:05 am #73706 The picture is a generic one from the Eibach website. It is probably the Prokit since the Sportline system is listed below as an option.

Yeah, I feel the Prokit won't do what I want. I would like to do coilovers but the price is so high. I could do my full suspension and brakes almost for the price of the coilovers.

Either way, just seeing if anyone has used the sportlines with the Eibach dampeners and swaybars.

Thanks

Anyone have experience?

Thanks

- Sat Nov 15, 2008 1:04 pm #78773 my bud is riding on sportlines.... the drop was decent.. but not to low... and the ride is not that harsh... i say they are pretty decent... eibach does do a good job...

- Wed Nov 26, 2008 2:41 am #80410 I have seen a few cars and I think I will do it.

93 Civic Hatch DX..... full suspension and brakes....LS/Vtec.....boost is on the way!!
