Ok I have made up mind finaly I am going to go with Eibach sportline. I am just wondering to the owners of the sportlines how is your ride and OEM shocks, and did you have to cut your bump stops?

Thanks

They say not trim the front bump stops.
And the kit comes with new rear bump stops.

ive got the stock shocks with sportlines, and it rides like a champ! no problems at all never bottoms out not to stiff not to loose almost factory but a lil stiffer, iam going on 30,000 miles now and the sportlines have been there for the past 15,000 no bounce at all, i love them and reccomend them to anybody, but thats my opinion and this is the first lowered car i have ever had!

Thanks. I am calling chuck tomarrow for the springs and now I just have to find a camber kit. If everything goes well I will be doing the install next weekend.

I dont have a camber kit on mine with the sportlines. i got it dropped and brought it to an alignment shop and they said its prefect slightly off but a big bump in the road could cause that. i just put on 17 and still no camber so dont waste ur money buy somnething else or do the custom catback exhaust! its better money spent!

I also want the kit for racing. That way when I go to race I can adjust my car. I just have to make sure I mark the bolts so I know how to get them back into the right place.

You want to race with Sportline on OEM shocks?

No I am going to wait for the adjustables to come out. I am hearing by end of summer there sould be a few that I can buy without having to mod the car for them to fit. That is why I have not gone to the track yet. I am wanting too but once I lower the car I am woried about blowing the OEM shocks on the track. I will have to wait a few months and then get some new shocks and then go to the track.

Ok.
I'll try to go on the track too in August to test a little bit my new setup (Koni Yellow and Sportline). For the moment, it seems fine for the street.
