wondering what any of you guys running the sportlines think of them??
have you had to do a rear alignment??
had any scraping of your muffler or tip when using underground parking??

why i'm wondering?? and what i'm thinking??

ya, i'm getting a scrape when coming in or going out of my underground parking..
chrome tip is scraping [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] good thing i haven't gone with an aftermarket muffler yet.......
getting a lean to my rear tires as well (do i need a camber kit?? or can i get by without..)
front end looks good tho......real good actually..

thinking of going to koni yellows on just the rear for now (due to $$$$$) and then do the fronts later (when the prices drop..)

any advice/recommendations???????

i am using neuspeed sport springs on my sedan and i have no trouble yet getting into and out of underground parking lot. but i think i need camber kit in the rear cuz my tires look like /---\ now
and maybe new shocks next summer when the Tokico or KYB come out.

what's your drop like iamfob??
mine was supposed to be 1.7 but i'm beginning to think it sagged lower (and only after 3 weeks..)

ya, the Tokes look good, they use to have a good name anyways a few years back..

and this is with the Veloz tip only..nothing beyond the stock pipe height wise..
are there spacers i should get installed or "shims"??
my trunk is empty, i'd hate to see what might happen after dropping in a box and some amps

from neuspeed they claimed the drop is 1.75 in front and 1.5 in rear. i installed the springs almost a month and it didnt seem they are sagging at all. i am happy with the ride.

I got Sportlines. They are lower at the back than the front, and according to what Goldline's said before, most springs are designed like that to give "even" drop (front and back of car same height, as opposed to stock the rear is higher).

After I got my koni's the rear end actually sat even lower. IMO it's nice the car hugs the ground a bit more. But the drop is actually more than 1.4" on my 01 Si. It's actually lower than Gusto's H&R Sports, so I'm estimating I've had a 1.6~7 drop up front and 2" at the back. I've got nothing at the back tho.

I did get a camber kit for the back, but waiting for winter tires to do alignment (don't care about stock tires). As for scrapping, I've not had that happen.

k..thanx for the feedback guys..
i think what i might do for the winter is swap back to the stock springs and then worry about it come spring..

k..here's what i'm thinking..

gonna grab a set or Pro's and mix-match them with the sportlines..

sporties up front (1.7) and the pro's (1.0) on the rear..

anyone looking for a spare set of sporty rears or a brand new set of pro fronts??
the pro's'll be brand new and the sporties were installed Aug. 31..
so maybe 500km on them.....
