its insane isnt it?

i dont have the high in front problem at all, i think it sits perfect, cant be too low on our streets anyway. nice agressive look and amazing handling.

i have sportlines on my car. the front is alittle higher then the back but then springs them selves arn't too bad. i love the spring rate not too hard not too soft, but sometimes i do wish they were alittle stiffer.

LOL!! Eibach is one of the most proven spring manufacturers on the market.

Eibach understands that 'function' should be considered over 'form'. Don't blame them for using an even drop for their Sportlines, they are designed to be used on the streets where ride comfort and front end clearance are important. When you buy a spring to be used on the street, you shouldn't have to be worried about tearing the front lip off at every dip in the road.

Thats why they offer the race springs, so those who want more performance and a slammed look have that option. But not only does the race springs drop the car considerably, they also win RACES because of their proven performance! You must be careful driving around town, and the firm ride turns some away from them.

Ricers are so funny, bouncing down the road on their bumpstops. More power to you, but don't diss a company because they are interested in street and race performance, while you are only interested in looks.

Function over form fools. Cheap ebay springs better than Eibach, bahaahaahhaa...

BTW, Neuspeed Sports with Koni's here and very happy. Save your breath ricers.

how is that FUNCTION?

they suck, and if you love them soo much buy the prokits off me..

a better funtion on a front wheel drive car would be having the front just a little bit lower and the rear springs a little bit stiffer...

that way when u take off, all the weight won't shift to the rear... something every other manufacturer did with their springs.. not eibach.... they were too busy looking for stock springs at the junk year to cut and repowdercoat..</TD></TR></TABLE>


LMAO! I couldnt of said it better my self but hey people got diffrent opinions

I have Eibach Sportlines on Koni YellowsSports. To fix the uneven ride height, I just set the front to the lowest perch setting and kept the rears at the middle perch. Even ride height, aggressive drop, and adjustability! Couldn't ask for a more street-able suspension drop.

my buddys got the prokit on konis on his DA, that car corners like a dream! what ive experienced of them is great.

Since when do you go to the track with weight in the back? they are made for daily drive and the weekend track days. i don't have that problem because gas is a bitch and i don't haul people around everywhere i go. and having the front lower then the back would only cause you to understeer more due to the uneven weight distrabution. yes thats what i call function, proper weight distrabution.

i have 17's on and 2 people sit in the rear, guess what, my rear wheel will rub my fender just enough that after 6 months, you can see the effects on the tires...

i prefer the front being a bit lower since our are is front wheel drive..

they did research? what research? all they did was cut the strock springs which is why the car looks like stock, just a bit lower..

all the other kits i have seen have the front "looking" even or a little lower then the rear... which is the way it should be...

we dont buy aftermarket products to get the same effect as stock... thumbs down...</TD></TR></TABLE>

hey that woudl hold true if the front chassis was higher than the rear....but guess what they are the same height

yeah? first of all, it won't. second, you think that's a good thing? hey, let's make it better by biasing more weight towards the front!

contrary to what you and other ricers believe, what makes a spring good or crappy is not how much it closes the gap between the wheel and fender.

in other words, you should shut your mouth because you have no clue what you're talking about.

on front wheel drive cars, it makes since to have the weigh in the front.. having the front a lil lower will not cause it to understeer....

if what you are saying is correct. 90% of the springs out there (all non-eibach springs) are shlt because they drop the front lower then the rear...

imma believe you instead of 90% of the companies.. yeah...

* RS-R
- Down Springs: 1.4 Inch Drop (FR) & 0.8 Inch Dorp (RR)
- Race Springs - 2.0 Inch Drop (FR) & 1.6 Inch Drop (RR)

* Teins
-S.Tech Spring Kit: Drop (RR) 2.6 Inch Drop (FR) & 1.7 Inch Drop (RR)
- High.Tech Spring Kit -1.7 Inch Drop (FR) & -.9 Inch

* H&R sport and race

* Tanabe
- 1.5 Inch Drop (FR) & 1.2 Inch Drop (RR)

* Skunk
-Lower Appox. 2.5" Front - 2.25" Rear

all have the front lower then the rear.

ever wonder why the drop the rear just a 'bit' lower?

hmmmm..... </TD></TR></TABLE>

when you want performance, its not the drop...its the spring rate. your basing your opinion on pointless specs, because most of those spring companies drops are for show and daily driven specs. ive seen people at stock height(with the stock honda boat look) will 500+ rate springs and the thing handled and road like a dream....a stiff dream at that.

there is also a diffenece between progressive wound and linear wound springs...do you know what that is?

eibach even said it themselves... prokit, made to have the "stock feel"...

not only is the front gap bad,, the ride is soft like a lil biotch... i still have my pro kits for sale... why doesn't anyone want it?

as i said most spring companies dont make their drop spring for race aps. your comparing one compaines race spec spring to a softer stock like spring? id say the apples and oranges. try comparing the sport lines to another companies race spring and see whats better.

ricer???? dropping ur car with the prokit will make u look like a ricer... front gap like 3 fingers and the rear is one... how ugly is that?

i bet my suspension is better then urs.... green teins, tokico illum..., sprint rear camber kit, ingalls front camber kit, camer set at -1, toe, etc.. set at 0. energy suspension bushing kit and suspension techn... sway bars..

what do you have? an eibach prokit on stock shocks?? haha.... .</TD></TR></TABLE>

as i see you added more to your quote.

whats my suspension?
Front: koni yellow sp3'/ with 430 rate ERS springs(soon to be 550 rates)on coil-over perches of course
Rear: kyb agxs with 400 rate springs on coil-over perches.

so yea that will be a no-go, on the assumption im in your league of ricer-ness.

oh yea BTW enjoy your tein springs sagging in a year or so.

tein great quality huh? that car sits tucking the tires with that spring jacked all the way up on the perch.



thats also on a higher model suspension, you have cheap s-techs...thats a basic coil-over kit

your ignorance makes me chuckle

dumbass the fake teins were only s-techs...NOT their coil-overs. those were bought directly from tein themselfs. also the fake sprins came out this year...not a year ago.

BTW that wasnt any suspension i owned.

you ARE ignorant

here is my old gsr with sportlines... drop looks uneven so i got rid of them and got some omni's





hope this helps

integra_dude

i had 3 people in the back of mine with 17's and it didnt rub

silverEH2

eibach makes quality springs, don't doubt that. but i agree there drop is pretty tasteless...just get some ground controls and call it a day

integra_dude

i love my sportlines, i hated my S-Techs, and they were the real ones, got rid of them like 4 days after they were put on

what the hell are you babbling about, ajantics? what're we driving touring cars now? why the hell would anyone here get a suspension spec'ed out for road racing on their daily driver?

talk about apples and oranges, damn. keep it in the ******* context if you want to try to sound like you know what you're talking about.

and by the way, eibach -- among others mentioned here -- ARE used in racing applications.
