Eibach springs/Tokico HP Shocks Upgrade

Thats right, I finally upgraded the old and worn factory springs and shocks to some Eibach springs and Tokico HP Shocks. The car is slightly lowered, but the ride feels great. I'm a spirited street driver and the car feels so much better now.

prokit is def only 1 inch if you have good shocks. sportlines are much lower i would say almost 2 inches from what ive seen.

with prokit you get 2 finger gap all around

If the sportlines are about 2" can the Tokico blues handle them? i hear they are only good for about 1.5"

Re: Eibach springs/Tokico HP Shocks Upgrade

Here is a pic of my car with Sportline springs, to give you a comparison shot.

Edit: My suggestion is to go with the prokit if you want to add a body kit of any sort in the future, go with the sportlines if you don't. A body kit with the sport lines would end up destroyed if it's a DD.

Re: Eibach springs/Tokico HP Shocks Upgrade

Thanks RallyeRedRider. That's what i needed to see because i got an 02 EX still on those stock hubs and didn't really know how it would turn out. ill go with the sportlines b/c i don't think ill be putting any kits on. I might end up gettin some 00 SI/03 EX rims to go with that. i think it will look nice when its done.

Re: Eibach springs/Tokico HP Shocks Upgrade

Well that i would like actually. Only if it weren't so expensive. I just got the car a yr ago and payments are enough with school and insurance. i barely had enough to save for the suspension but i need to do this b/c i love to drive in the hills. Hell i put 30k miles on the car this year.
