    Sportlines or Tein??

    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:(

    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

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