Eibach Sportline vs Neuspeed Sport (w/koni)

Hi, iv'e done my homework and i can't find what i am looking for... So please don't flame.

I am installing the Koni's on my 2004 Sedan and i whanted a 1.5 drop. So i figured out that Neuspeed Sport and Eibach Sportline will be the choice to make.

I am goin with the Koni for sure so i don't need more info on struts... What i am looking for is opinions for the COILS (Neuspeed Sport vs Eibach Sportline)... I am looking for a good product that will LAST... It is not just for the look, i whant to have fun with my car.

I have read that the Neuspeed Sport will lost their stifness... and that the Sportline will bounce (on rear) on my Sedan... Even if i have the Koni.. is it true?

And please i whant some arguments... i don't need the This are not good... i whant to know why and if possible recomandation

I will post some pics when the setup will be done (Damn snow )

Thanks to all

neuspeed sports will dorp it a little more
sportlines will sag in the rear more than the sports if you've got a system and people

eibach has been around for quite a time now and has been known to make very quality springs. i honestly never knew neuspeed made springs until the good stories i have heard about them on this forum (specifically for the 01+ civic).


if i could choose between the two, id go with eibach.

Go with the sportlines. I have them in my 04 civic and they ride good. the drop is about 1.5 in front and 1.4 in the rear. Neuspeeds suck, I had them on my old 95 civic and they sagged a lot, ride was also really bouncy and not good. Go with Eibach they ride a heck of a lot better.

I was in the same situation about a month ago. I was deciding whether to go with the eibach sportline or the neuspeed sports. I've read pretty much all the threads on this by searching.

Most people were saying "go for the eibachs because they give a better ride quality". I myself was leaning towards the eibachs to begin with before reading all these threads about it. I look at the suspension drop pics thread, like 10 million times over and over.

I liked the drop that the neuspeed gives because I still think the eibachs are slightly too high. I've also read that the neuspeeds don't really change much in height from the 1st day of the install to 2 weeks later. On the other hand, I've heard the Eibachs take like 2 weeks to settle.

Finally the one thing that made me decide on the springs I wanted, was the user on this board named "Scatman". He was the only one to post that he tried both springs. The Eibachs and the Neuspeeds. I mean, who else are you going to trust. Some one that's only tried one of 2 only know half of it.

Anyways, Scatman said that the Neuspeeds gave a better ride, and lowered the car more. I didn't find anyone else who replied to any of those threads that tried both springs. Even at this point, I was really looking forward to getting the Eibachs. It took me like a month to decide. btw, last year I decided I wanted Eibach sportlines. So when Decision time came, I got the Neuspeeds. Why?? I dunno. I figured why would Scatman lie about the springs?? He's tried both, and he says the Neuspeeds are better. I'll take his word for it. I mean, there was nobody else whose had both on their ride. I like when people have actually hands on experience over just word of mouth.

I know everyone is telling you to go for the Eibachs, which I still don't think is a bad choice, but do your research and decide for yourself.

I can't give you a review of my ride yet, because I have not installed the springs yet.

Your comparing 2 different cars here, with different springs. Not a good comparison imo. If it was the same car with different springs, now that would be a fair comparison.
