    Sportline Owners--Do you have an uneven drop?

    I have almost made up my mind to buy the Eibach Sportlines, but am deterred a little bit because many say the drop is uneven. Is it really uneven? If it is uneven, is it really noticeable? I am thinking of buying Ground Controls just so I can avoid the un-even drop. What do you guys think?

    I noticed with my springs (not Sportlines) that the drop is uneven only when no one is up front. I have a box in the back that ways stuff down in the trunk area. Do you have a box?

    She's running on Tein S-tech springs and those give the rear a lower drop than the front even w/o the box in the back.

    If you question the Eibach Sportlines, then go w/Neuspeed sport (1.5/1.5 all around) = even front and rear drop.

    Toda- my bad for not pointing that out. I didn't trust the "stated" drop, cuz it seems like mine is quite lower than what is advertised... I guess they just settled... so I didn't trust the fact that they were uneven. :D :o

    I have Sportlines and there is a noticable difference with the rear being much lower. I have a big box in the trunk but I'm probably gonna switch that with a smaller one. If that doesn't work I'm going Tein S-tech's.

    That would not be a fair comparison because of the big heavy box. Can you take the big box out and leave back empty to see if
    the sportlines have a noticable lower rear?

    Yeah I plan to take the box out in the next couple of weeks to see how much of a difference it makes. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Sportline will be installedthis week and I hope that the back will be lower than the front for that special BMW look. I don't want a Dodge Neon look!:p
