Eibach Sportline Springs for 03 Civic

HI,

Has anyone here used the springs before. I am looking for a good pair and want to make sure these are good. Also, how will my ride quality be? Will it be real bad and bouncy or will the ride still be good?

Thanks a lot!

Search around forst man. So many people on here have them. I have them and I like them. Just wish there was more of a drop, but overall there great. Your ride quality will be like stock as long as your shocks dont blow. I recommend you get some aftermarket shocks, wither koni yellows or tokico blues. They will make the ride so much better. I put the konis with mine and the ride and handling is excellent.

I rode on them for a year with stock struts and the ride excellent. I wished the drop was lower but for the ride quality they were great.

Put some konis on there and your ride will be 50x better.

Please read the suspension FAQ in my sig, search the site for Eibach, and yes, we will all recommend getting a camber kit and shocks.

I dont think the Konis were out when I had them, and I couldnt have afforded them at the time. Im on my 3rd civic now and im going to try out some Neuspeed Race srings this time.

I currently have them on my car. I'd recommend getting some shocks while you're at it because your ride will become bouncy.

even if they were, they will still go eventually. stock shocks arent made for lowering springs.

I thought the same thing when I lowered my car but then my ride went to hell. Definitely need some aftermarket shocks to go with Eibach Sportlines.

There are two sets of springs made for stock shocks. The Eibach Prokit and Tein H-Tech. I think one of the tanabe springs are made for stock shocks too. I still wouldn't lower without new shocks, however.

i was lookin at the eibach sportline springs and it says it will give me a 1.4 inch drop. Is that a noticeable drop or what? Im also rollin on stock rims too. 1.4 inch drop worth it? with new shocks too.

I just got Sportlines with Tokico blues. It's actually pretty low. It's more of a 1.75" drop, if not a tad bit more.

As far as sagging, Eibach's are quality springs so they won't start to sag any time soon. I used the Prokit on previous car for about four years and sagging was never an issue. Once the springs settle they won't go much lower from there.

actually the sportlines are only like a 1.4" drop, you'll get about a two finger gap both front and rear. In terms of quality, I agree with everyone else, they're good. I feel though u don't really need aftermarket shocks, only for hardcore drops.
