I have Konis on Eibach Pro-Kit springs. The Sportlines are for "looks" from what I understand.

good luck

I used to auto-x on the sportlines. They worked fairly well but are nowhere near optimal. They look good in my opinion on the car but they will likely bottom out in auto-x.

Ground Control with koni sports. 450f/600r

I am very happy with it...

I ran koni sports with the sportlines on my integra, the rear springs a very soft to provide a nice ride for the street and therefore are not the best for getting the car to rotate, even with a 22mm rear bar

Well, it'll be an improvement over stock, and you'll probably be happy with it. But, if you're looking to auto-x or attend HPDEs, then you'll likely and eventually find that any sport spring will not measure up. I'd have to agree with the earlier post about getting GCs with custom rates.

The input is that they are not good springs for any sort of competition oriented event. They are little more than lowering springs.

For a daily driven car? Still no good. They are too low and starve a Civic of it's precious shock travel without need.
