Default Adjustable perch Koni's and which springs - eibach sportline or pro-kit ?

I plan on buying sportlines here very soon and wanna use the adjustable perch Koni yellows...But will that make the car too low..I want a drop of about 1.5 to 1.6 inches...

So, I could use Sportlines and go up or pro-kits and go down? Which spring is more stiff(has a higher rate)? I really dont wanna go coilovers and up and down all the time. The teg is not driven in winters, though.

I run pro-kits with agx's on my wagon and they are quite stiff even on the lowest setting!

Also, where is the best place to buy the adjustable Koni Yellows?

Please advise!

you could always set the rear perches on the highest setting and the fronts on the lowest to even out the drop. there is a compramise though, eibachs doesn't drop the front as much as the rear (like the H&R's do) but they are a better spring. the sportlines are stiffer. im patrickgsr94, he's got koni yellows with h&r race springs. ask him to show you a pic. you will get the same desired effect with the sportlines.

Nope, I got Sport springs. Yes it's a 3" drop, but it has the lower spring rate of the Sport springs, which makes for a crappy combination.

Just because you have adjustable coilovers doesn't mean you "have to go up and down all the time". Actually if you do that, that will accelerate tire wear as alignment settings change whenever the ride height is changed.

I personally plan on getting GC coilovers, setting it to the height I want, get it aligned, and leave it that way.

I have sportlines and the adjustable Koni Yellows. I have the rear perches on the standard setting (middle perch) and fronts on the lowest setting. It evened out the ride height pretty nicely. If you want, I can take pics later today and post them to show you the drop.

I suggest you order your struts from Rob @ Tornactive.com. I ordered mine and had them at my door within 5 days. Great guy right there.
