They are awesome.. closest to stock ride you'll ever get.

Some people will question you for getting them.. saying stuff like.. it doesn't look low enough... whatever!! How badly do you want it lowered anyway. It handles great, closed wheel well gaps, and soaks up bumps reasonablely well.. and springs are made of high quality.

Good "resale" value too.. can't go wrong!!

Hey 01Coupe

Where did you get yours and how much if you dont mind me asking?

What about install cost?

Thanks

so they dont lower your ride that much....how much of a drop

 
Rep Power: 0

Pro kit drop is 1 inch all around


Sportlines go lower

 
Rep Power: 0

Yep, Pro-Kit will give you 1in drop... although after it settled, it suspeciiously looks more. But it could just be my imagination..

I would probably recommand Sportlines for you, oldskool.. coming off of coilovers and all, I think Pro-Kits might be too "tame" for your tastes.


BTW: I paid $200 for my Eibach Pro-Kits.. bought them used from a nice guy from this site. They were only a few months old, so I took 'em! Installed was a bit pricey, I think I paid $150.... very good install job though. Nothing every funny has happened, and there are no squeeks.

i was told 1.5, and i didnt want the sportlines.. it may be a little tame for me....... but i want to put a body kit so the bouncy ride with coilovers and the height would be too much for a kit... i like the way your look.....again a little high but as soon as i put a kit and my wheels it might look alright...being 2" off the ground definetely takes it tole and im paying for it now!!

on my Neon i had 2 sets of srpings...

MOPAR HI-RATES 1" around for me not good enough so i bought EIBACH PROKITS 1.2" around... it settled to around 1.5" but then i wasnt happy.......

so i bought Eibach sportlines mated to KYB struts..... damn nice and subtle ride.
the PROKITS are way stiffer then the sportlines.

take my word for it as i have been through them already in my Neon.
are u buying the prokits??????

 
Rep Power: 0

Just a little update.................... I got the sprotlines........i feel like im driving an SUV compared to how low it was before............. good ride quality though

 
Rep Power: 0

Haha, I got sportline, I don't feel like an SUV!

But then again, for some reason my car was much lower than other ppls, even H&R sport even though Sportlines are supposed to lower less...

Must be the shocks.

I like the ride quality on the Sportlines tho.

It's all a matter of prespective. I feel like I'm slammed in my Eibach Pro-Kits.. but I did say oldskool would feel like riding on SUV, since she is used to coils.

As for Sportlines, I know people who actually got rid of them to go with Pro-Kits, just for the ride quality sake. But I'm sure they were comparing with stock, not coils..

I rode in my buddy's civic with coils, and it was too much for me! We went over a slight dip, doing 80kim/h, and my head literally hit the ceiling!! Great dynamics, but it was way too much for me, personally. But he loved it though.

Ebiach springs are nice in a sense that they don't lower your car TOO much. I feel they are just right.. after a month, I got used to the ride and forgot that I even lowered my car. But more importantly, they don't cripple your car--as in, I can drive it in the snow with a lip spoiler, and don't have to slow down to 1km/h when entering a gas station. And I can actually take my parents out in it without feeling embarassed.

I agree with 01 Coupe.

That's why I am going to go with the Pro Kit as well. I am glad to hear that you like it. I am also glad to hear that they are OK for the winter.

I hope I will like them as much as you do 01Coupe.

maybe im saying its a good ride becuase when i had my coilovers my car was slammed like 3" even more i think in the back....tiny speed bumps was a big problem. Ya when i went over dips in the road i bounced in my seat..... so compared to the coilovres i find that it is a big difference in ride quality. my springs havent settled yet and im only like 1.5"...hopefully it'll settle a bit more...........im used to sitting on the ground thats why i feel so high

 
Rep Power: 0

It'll take a while to settle.. I remember with mine, it took about 3 months before I noticed it settle at all... about over 6 months before it's really settled down. but it's quite noticeable now, especially with the stock wheels on.

we'll see what happens....i like them though

today i went over a big bump going 65 and me and my friends head were right up the roof
when u are 1.5 inches or lower i suggest get new shocks cuz the stock shocks can't handle the bumpy road....it was pretty scary when the car hop when it is snowing like **** outside

 
Rep Power: 0

1.5" you might need to get new shocks........ i was slammed when i had coilovers and i needed new shocks.....Bumps arent so bad its dips in the roads that are the worst with shitty shcoks

 
Rep Power: 0

i hate my stock shocks...i think mine are pretty much gone cuz they are not meant to take the abuse when the car is lowered and heavy spring rate
but yet i dont have cash for Koni yellow.
when the hell is KYB or Tokico coming out shocks for 7th gen...****ing R&D is taking forever to come out shocks for us [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]
