Anybody here using Eibach Sportlines on their 5th gen, or any other gen for that matter?

If so...how does it look? What is speed bump clearance like? How well does it ride?

You know...all that kind of info. Any complaints about them?

I do there great I love them. As long as you dont put a body kit on it. You will be fine. I did and now I can get into any shops or some fast food places. I kind of wish I would have not put the kit on but I do love the drop from the springs had them for about 9 months or so and there nice. You will need to get the Eibach camber kit and get it aligned. I know some springs drop cars too low but those are great. The ride is ok never will be good as stock though close.

 

I won't have the money to get the camber kits right away :/
It won't take long to get the money...So if I go ahead and put the springs on, how will it affect my car? I don't drive too much per day...back and forth from school is usually about it.

 

It took about 6 months with alot of driving to ruin my tires with really good tread. Also if you put rims on it go no bigger than 17s with 215/45/17 tires

 

Yeah I was planning on putting 17s on, as anything bigger IMO is basically pointless. I'm going with 17s so I can get me some Brembo big brake rotors and sheeit in the future. Before the brakes though, I need to get me an H22.

 

Here is my 4th gen with eibach sportlines....I love these springs good drop hardly any camber and the ride is great, better than stock but not bouncy, here is a pic:

and another:

 

Looks nice...good drop level

 

Heres my drop with the sportlines:

 

I have sportlines... see sig for pic.
Rides pretty good with koni yellows, but was pretty bouncy with stock shocks.

 

Likes the rides....

 

There nice have the whole sleeper look going on.

 

what kind of shocks or struts would be good to fit them with. What would happen if they were put on stock ones?

 

the sportlines are so low that they would eventually blow the shocks and get real bouncy, but wouldn't be too bad for a while...of course, aftermarket shocks would be stiffer and able to handle lower springs

 

i wouldnt go with stock shocks. I had tockiko blues on my old accord and it was still a lil bumpy.

 

how low are sportlines on an accord? can i get over speedbumps with them?

 

they are 2" or 2.2" i believe...

 

can i get over speed bumps easy with them? and what kind of springs should I use if I want a 1.5-2 in the front and 1-1.5 in the rear?

 

sportlines for 90-97 drop 1.8" in front and 1.7" in back pro-kit is 1.5" and 1.3" or 1.4"....and you may have to go across speedies a little sideways, but I clear them no worries, my exhaust doesn't even scrape. But a good even drop with hardly any camber....but then again I have a kit for that. Sweet ride, my favorite out of what I have had, Sprint, eibach, v-spec II coilovers (kmart brand crappy coilovers) and oem. Eibach is cheap and great quality I recommend

 

then where did 2 or 2.2 come from?

 

sorry, i am unfamiliar with most spring/shock combo style setups...i am preferable to full threaded body coilovers myself...

 

Does any1 know anything about weapon r coilovers ?

 

weapon r sucks

 

why?

 

i havent had any experience with them but they are one of the cheaper brands and you definitely shouldnt cheap out on coilovers. but there's actually a few guys in the autox forum that prefer arospeed over ground control coilovers, so if you're looking for a bargain you might wanna look into those instead.

 

I use to have a '91 Accord Coupe and it hade Neuspeed Sports on it on stock struts and the springs have the same drop as Sportlines and they rode really nice for being on stock struts. i think the drop was like 1.75"ish....im sure you can look them up on some site...i think nopi carrys them..but ive heard nothing but good things about Eibach so either way
