Neuspeed Sports or Eibach Sportlines?

Hi guys, Let me know what you think about this...

I currently have the Sportlines installed and I'm debating buying the Neuspeeds. Do you guys think that it will make that much of difference from what I have. I'm not really happy with the Sportlines, but I dont want to go totally slammed...

Later

Why aren't you happy with the Sportline? I love mine. Do you think it's worth the trouble to change out sport springs for sport springs when you can save that money for shocks?

If you're gonna change get coilovers.

Hey...jus a thought; I have R1 Racing Coil Overs. They give out a 0-4inch drop. They are brand new IN BOX. I got it as a gift from my cousins but I don't want coilovers, I dont wanna go too low and have to deal with allignments. Will you trade used Sportlines for New R1 Coils?
Jus a thought man.

get the neuspeed racing springs. sports gonna be about the same as the sportlines then you'll really be dissapointed. Even with the racing springs, only gonna be bout half an inch lower all around. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

yup, i would go with blacksi, go with neuspeed race. DONT GO WITH SPORTS cause they're practically the same drop, i hate my neuspeed sports too but i would hate to deal with installation again.
oh and next time please post in the suspension forum

If I go with the Race springs how long are my struts going to be around???

I'd probably have to get the Koni's within a few months.

How about from purely a handling perspective... Sport, Race, or Sportlines? I'm not nearly as concerned about the drop as I am a cornering performance increase.

It's all about the drop and the look! The performance is important, but secondary to me.

VTEC01EX, i would probably recommend the prokit. not much different from stock, just handles better
if you want some looks too, go with neuspeed sports or goldlines. your probably going to need a camber kit and shocks after a year or so with these. dont have to worry too much about driving carefully except on steep hills or speed bumps. but ya if these sacrifices arent worth it, just go with prokit.
RidnLow2K1, since your into looks, go with race for sure...

Some drop would be nice too for looks, but I'm mostly concerned with performance. Would it be true that ProKit <= Neuspeed Sports from a performance standpoint? Also, I'm looking for a shop online that sells Koni shocks for our car. I've already planned on getting the SPC camber kit with whatever springs I decide to go with, so the Konis should wrap things up nicely.

I had a ProKit on my before I put on the Sportlines. If you don't mind the almost Stock look then the Prokit definitely performs better than stock. After I put on my 17's the car looked like it was on stilts with the Prokit. It's doesn't even lower the car an inch.

I personally felt that the Prokit was a waste of time. The Sportlines get lower and offer even better performance than the Prokit, but I'm still thinking of going lower...

even with sportlines you dont have to worry too much about road hazards. i mean you want to avoid pothols but you always do since you have the rims too. but ya since your happy with the car now, the prokit would be good for you. thats if your not really looking for a lowered look. this will kill the gap and give you much better handling...

sway bars, i dont think eibachs are out but i think the rsx ones fit our cars. i believe someone had a diy on it the other day. as for shocks, the only ones out for our cars is koni. i heard tokicos were supposed to come out in late sept tho.

I installed progress 27 mm front and neuspeed 22 mm rear sway bar's. Both fit perfectally. Notice a huge difference from stock handling with this setup.
