Eibach springs/Tokico HP Shocks Upgrade

[Lindsay C.]

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.

Which Springs did you go with?? The Prokit or the Sportlines?? I been waiting for my next check to do the same but can't decide which to choose. Lets see some Pics

i love prokit + tokicos. excellent ride and handling.

Well then how much different are the sportlines? i want a noticable drop but nothing crazy

[EggRollBandit05]

prokit gives about a 1" drop
sportline gives around 1.5-2" drop
i have sportlines on tokicos and love it

So i think ill do the sportlines then. im still runnin on my stock hubs. i need rims bad but i can get the springs free with gift cards from work so i figured i might as well start there.

Can you post a pic of it?

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"

Eibach claims the sportline drops 1.4" all arround

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.

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.

what about OEM lip kit?

[02whiteem2]

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.

oem kit drops the car another 1/2 inch
