Sportlines or Tein??

[SiR_d1]

I need your help guys..

I plan on finally lowering my car on firday but I still can't decided b/w the sportlines or Tein. Here's my dilema, from reading past forums it appears these two springs have relatively the same drop (1.5") but the tein are much cheaper in price which comes in handy when I have to buy my camber kit. Secondly, I hear stories that the sportlines have an unequal drop where at times the rear is lower than the front and sometimes vice versa. But I can't get forget about the Eibach name where I know I'll will be getting my moneys worth, yet at the same time I dont want to pay so much knowing I can get the same quality and drop and a fraction of the cost. What should I do? People with the sportlines and Teins, I need your help:(

Id get the Sportlines, from what I have heard the drop and ride is great.

[SiR_d1]

same has been said about the teins, thats why its so hard for me to decided

[ep88]

here is a comparison....
car with front SI emblem = tiens (klik's EP)
car with red front H = sportline (mine :D)

ohh btw...klik's car is slightly lower than mines, prolly a couple of millimeters :o mine just look higher :( i dunno i thought tiens and sportlines have the same drop. anyway if i were you, ima get sportlines coz im biased:D i love the ride, just like STOCK :D

heheheeh EP88, i say go with Tein's, ride is shiznit compare to stock, ill ride EP88 one time and let him ride mine so we can see the comparison, but if i were u i go with Teins cuz
first cheaper, lower maybe couple of millimeter, ride is tight.
its up t u
showstopper has it for 139 bucks out of the shop
basically this is the cheapest spring around hehehehehe

i've heard good things about tein, but eibach sportlines are guaranteed quality.

Tough call on this one. I think Eibach is a lil bit better than Tein, but Tein is cheaper. Both are quality, and you can't go wrong with your choice.

Was the camber off by that much that you needed a front and rear camber kit? They couldn't just adjust it w/in factory specs usually factory equipment? I thought you only need an aftermarket camber kit for 2+ drop.

but the springs showstoppers has is for the 2001 and higher civic, and on the tein website it says uts not for our car. Whats good for your car now may not be that way in the future

[SiR_d1]

because your dropped with sportlines, is the rear lower than the front? or is it a even drop. Im leaning more towards sportlines now

[Si02]

For the price you can't go wrong with the Tein's.

i think it has an even drop, it just looks uneven coz actually the gap at the front is really greater than the rear....try measuring it ;)

when i put ma Tein's and got an allignment the guy says i dont need one, but for me i think the back need one,
plus ma drop seems lower to the front maybe a millimeter cant really notice it

Bust out the tape measure and let us know how it sits.
