Default Eibach Springs - Poll

So what do you guys all prefer: Eibach Sportline or Pro-kit springs? Pro-kit is better performance but sportline is lower. Give your input.

It really depends on what you want. Both are great springs. I had the Sportlines on my DA and my bro had the Pro-Kit on his DA. Mine rode a bit stiffer and it was lower. If I were buying springs again I would go with the Pro-Kit just because I've grown tired of scraping crap and would like a slightly softer ride.

u have to consider wut kinda shocks they using, if its stock shocks yes it will sit a lil lower than stiffer shocks. correct me if im wrong. as far as my friends exp. with their eibach springs on their DC's so far they like em.

dont run sportlines with stock shocks...its a waste of oem shocks, and the ride will be shitty.....

keep the stock shocks and springs in case you sell the car, and look around junkyards, or classifieds for shock/spring setups. i got tockico illuminas and sprint coilovers for 50 bucks GL

It looks goofy because the springs are an even drop. With the shape of the front wheel well, the ride looks uneven, even though it's not. If you wouldn't like that look, I would suggest getting a spring with a lower drop in the front, somethinf like 2"F/1.5/1.75 R. I wish I had known before I bought them.
