Please Help Me Decide
Don't tell me to search and don't go off topic please, I just want everyone's opinions about what I should use to lower my car
The options are:
1. Eibach Sportline
2. Neuspeed Sport
3. Coilovers

Rep Power: 0 i've got the Eibachs, and i ain't thrilled with them..
i add the smallest amount of weight past the rear wheels and me front get's real light..
of the eight coils the 5 bottom are in constant contact at rest..
contacted their tech support and haven't heard shyt from them (that was last summer..)
imo..bad idea..

Rep Power: 0 1.4 and 1.7 i believe on the sportlines..
haven't tried the pro-kit they have but it's apparently a 1" all around..
i've got the oem kit and it does graze going in and out of the underground here once in a while..

I've got H&R sport with the Kaminari kit and I think its just about right. I wouldnt want to got any lower than I am now. The have droped the car about 1.5 inches. The springs seem good but I've never had anything else to compare to.
I got them used from GusTo.
I don't know how much they are new...sorry.
They give about a 1 finger gap in the back and a 1.5 finger gap it the front.
I also got an SPC camber kit for the rear. The camber was -3 degrees before the alignement

Rep Power: 0 if you want coilovers get the real ish... tein... wouldn't really recommend anything else...
i have the eibach // dont listen to the manufacturer, it's gonna drop a bit lower (mine dropped about 2 inches all around.
my rear is tucked in nicely,,, i haven't gotten my kit on it YET... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] but it's gonna be the right height for me....

Rep Power: 368 Well, I know it's not one of your three choices, but I'm runnin H&R Sport and I love them. Nice drop, minimal camber on the rears (kit soon) and none on the fronts. Even though it's not recommended for EX sedan (which I have the equivalent of in my EL), and people have told me about horrible rear sag, I still love the look of the drop. In fact, while my rears are tucked, the rear end is only 1/4" lower than the front - negligible in my opinion. Plus new shocks should help me out there. If you have a coupe, I imagine the sag problem will not be even that bad unless you have a box. So why not take a look at the H&R's?
If you're goin coilover, I agree - get Teins.
