The ride is great for being lowered. I've found the 1.4 they quote as the drop is off i'm sitting around 1.8-2.0 lower all around. It took away most wheel gap and isn't bouncy at all, I immediatly noticed the imporved handeling (even with the factory tires/wheels) and an even better improvement when I went to 215/45's. Overall
they're alright and would definitely recommend them, but the back sags way more than the front though.. but it ain't too bad [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

bro, if the back sags I'm getting the nuespeed sport springs, I can't have my back sagging, I think that looks real bad, I would rather the back be up a little even rather than down. I thought Hawk's car looked real cool even when he said he had a high back, with nuespeed sport springs....Unless of ya'll really tell me eibach's are the deal, I am going to hook up with the Nuespeed Sport for my vic........Rip

The sportlines are great but even greater with shocks such as Koni's. The Koni's would solve your sagging rear.[hr]
What exactly causes the saggin rear? I don't have anything in my trunk, will the tail still sag with just springs?
I think sagging is caused by either more weight in the back or the shocks in the back are blown. I have sportlines and they don't sag at all on my coupe even without Koni's. I did eventually get Koni's though.
PEOPLE, THE SPORTLINES DO NOT SAG IN THE REAR!!!!
just trying to clear things up here.... they might however sag for the sedans, maybe thats was plastic was refering too.... the coupe should have no problems tho.... solution to sedan owners, just get the neuspeed sports for sedan...
oh and as for people with systems in your trunk, i doubt its heavy enough to make a noticable difference...
Anybody have pics of sportlines on their coupe on stock rims and tires? How is the finger gap on the rears? Thinking about ditching the coilovers for these.
I just had them installed yesterday. Will get a pic of it tonight or tomorrow. It's not low enough to go anywhere near clearing the gap, but it does cut the stock gap by 70% or so.
IMO it's a bit too low for everyday driving in the city, but will be great for handling and riding over the highway.
More on this when I have pics and have driven on it more.

i wanna get some, but wanna know about ride and see what the end result looks like. how much are they anyway?[hr]
I'll have pics for you soon. As for the ride, honestly, it's noticeably stiffer. I'm also riding them on stock shocks, so I can feel slight bounciness when going over little bumps and holes on the road. As I posted before, if you live in the city, and drive in the city, you will want to think hard. I believe the Pro-kit rides much closer to stock, so if you're at all concerned about the ride, go with that. Otherwise, highway ride is awesome. The car looks low but not low enough to cause any concerns in terms of driving. Body roll is gone too, I was slipping between gaps this morning on the highway, and didn't get thrown into the driver-side window as before because of the car rolling in that direction.

One would think that being the moderator you would be a little more subjective(and knowledgable). Springs are not more likely to sag on one model over the other. Whether it be the sedan or the coupe, it's makes no difference. Yes, the sedan does way more in the rear than that of the coupe. However, that doesn't mean the springs are sagging. It means that the ride height is too low for the 4 dr (sedan). That is the reason that Gold Line offers separate kits for the sedan(4 dr) and coupe(2 dr).
Also, regarding stereo systems in the rear of the vehicle, the rear spring rate on these springs is less than 300 lbs. Some of the stereo equipment installed in the trunk often ways well over 100lbs. This equates to almost a 1/2" loss in ride height.
Don't mean to slam anyone but, these are common misconceptions regarding coil springs that are rairly addressed. This being a forum, I figured I would shed some light on the topic.
