    Eibach pro kit or sportlines

    I dropped mine with the Eibach pro kit. Theres is still a three finger gap. I have 205 40 17's. I know this kit wouldnt drop it that much but wished it was a little lower. The handling is awsome though and it looks alot better. Does anybody else have a pro kit. And for those who hase the sportlines. Is the camber really off?

    I have the Eibach Sportline here is a pic of the front you can see the gap. There really isn't any front camber. Not sure on the back the shop suggested adjustable arms so I don't know how off it would be.

    I am not sure which one is better Tein or Eibach. The Eibach ran me $249. I have heard that Teins are great quality.

    I'm trying to decide the same thing, should I go with the pro kit, or sportlines? I'm more concerned about performance than looks. Any advice?

    I was told at my shop in Houston, Tx( CARBOY ) that the pro kit doesn't need a camber kit and that he suggested that i would go with that. He said the sportlines require a camber kit unless u want to buy new tires every 3 to 4 months. I believe the kits are expensive too. The handling is awesome on these springs. I have 205 40 17's and there is a three finger gap all around but it looks real nice. You can distinctly tell that it is dropped though but it is not slammed. i took it road racing with the springs and it handles like a dream. My fastest time was 68 seconds which is pretty good for my class. I'll will post some pics soon. :D

    thanks for the advice. i'm definitely leaning towards the pro kit. have you noticed any unusual wear on your tires at all?

    No, not at all. as long as u get an alignment afterwards than there wont be. My brother is about to get a set for his Ep too. I've got mine for $230 bucks at my shop.

    Hey Fastback,
    You would not have any pics would you?
    Right now, I am planning on the pro-kits with a
    205 45 17 tire. I race mountain bikes and I have to
    take my car on gravel roads etc... So I can't have a
    slammed car. Also, I care about performance more than
    looks as well. I was worried that an inch drop would not make
    enough of a difference handling wise, but you seem to be happy
    with the handling, right? Was the improved handling something
    that you noticed right away?

    Are you using the stock shocks? How long will the original shocks last with a pro-kit?

    sonic imperial and Jeremy R

    I am using the stock shocks right now. They should last me about 30 thousand miles i believe. I am extreamly pleased with the handling. It handled awsome when i took it road racing. The ride is less bumpy than sportlines. There is a three finger gap though but it is not ugly. U can tell that it is dropped. Ive got lots of compliments so far. The front bumper is lower to the ground but not too low to scrape on moderate inclines. Will post pic a.s.a.p. :D
