has anybody ever had problems with having eibach sportlines and had a problem of rubbing or it being too low for practical driving.

I was thinking of getting 00 si wheels with 195/50 tires. Please let me know what you guys think. Ive tried a search but havent found any info yet.

would anybody have pictures?

 

i have those springs. i didnt rub at all with the si's. i do rub just a little now with 16x7 with 205/45/16

 

what tire size did you have on your si's ? 50? 40?

 

Sportlines are perfect. I've had mine for 5 or so years and I love them.

15's with 50 series are perfect. 16's with 40 series will work too (I use to have these) but 45's may be little much which is why "t3h WIN" says he's having some rubbing.

Right now I've got the stock Si wheels so no problems either.

The ride is a little low but it looks good and kind of gives you that hot rod look because the back is not as low as the front.

i know its recommended but did you add a camber kit when you put on your sportlines. is the camber any noticeable or not that much.

 

Yea, I put a camber kit (Ingalls) all around and yes it makes a difference. If you want to save on cost you can just get the front camber kit.

I didn't put the kit on until months later and when I did, I could tell there was more tire contact. My car had a little of the slippery feel (like when you get new tires) at first so I new it helped and you could visually see it. I got it so that my tires would last longer too.

The down side (Sportline) is your tires won't last as long as if you had the street Eibach set or stock. Even with the camber kit you will wear your tires out sooner then stock height. Just make sure your alignment is straight and you have the proper tire pressure all around and they will last for a good while, couple of years on mine.

That's the price you pay for having that look and feel but it's worth it to me.

Oh yea, I see your in Houston, what's up!!

Maybe once I'm done with my car (CV joint issues) you can check out how it looks.

no, it's not low at all...here is my crx on sportlines:





sorry about the shitty pics

i don't ever scrape either which is good

 

well i live in tomball now for the past few months since i moved but i still work in houston. yeah let meknow when you get your car up and going so i can come check it out.

I know i've read a while back about people who have camber issues, if they are doing a swap especially, if they put on integra spindles, it will correct most of it, if not all of it. how true is that?

 

Hum, don't know about the integra spindles, you got me on that one. Hopefully sometime this week I can get this situation (CV joint) figured out.

"atc5" rex seems higher then mine for some reason. My front wheels are slightly tucked in at the top, you can put a finger between the tire and fender. The back you can put two, maybe three fingers in between.

Also, I've got KYB AGX shocks but that won't change the height. When I had the stock shocks it was the same height with the sportlines.
