i installed my sportlines a while ago and i was wondering if anyone else is having the same problems as me.. its a 98 teg LS.

number 1- the drop is rediculously uneven, the front is noticeably higfher up front- normal? the back tucks pretty well

number 2- the spring isnt stiff at all. i know they are progressive springs and they tighten as they are stressed, but stationary they are as bouncy and give justr as easily as stockers.. normal?

anyone with experience with these care to help me out with some information... much appreciated.

 

yes the front is noticeably higher up front. i hate it. but its a comfortable ride imo. i like the feel of it.
get shocks that you can perch and that should solve your hieght prob, correct me if im wrong

 

make sure all of your bushings and factory hardware is in the right place....and did you cut your bumpstops? i always cut mine in half and they seem to do fine...i had some sportlines that came on a car i bought ...the rear was missing 1 rubber bushing, both metal tube collars, and the bumpstops werent cut in the front....i replaced all of the missing peices, cut the bumpstops, and now its great.....might wanna check yours and do the same

 

okay, im gonna go check that right now.. thanks for the help.

the sportlines usually have such a nice drop, i was really dissapointed. I'd hate to see what the pro-kit looks like

 

i had the prokit on a teg before too! it only lowered it a little bit over an inch...it just looked like stock with a carload of people........lol

 

I have sportlines on koni yellows with itr lcas. ill post pics later

 

da lixz r u gonna post picsanytime soon?? im interested

 

i got some eibachs on my 94 teggy too. they came off a 97 civic. he didnt like them cause they were to high and i didnt like my neuspeed race springs cause they were too low. so we switched and i love the way my car feels now. its so smmmoooottthhhh over bumps. and now also i dont have to worry about hit stuff under my car. its alot better. before with the old springs both front and back wheels were tucking, and they were 16's with, now there's about an inch between the fender well and the tire. eibachs are worth it.

 

i hate that! if i cared about a smooth ride i would have kept my stockers!

i spent good money and i <U>want</U> to have to worry about bumps! i wanna go over speedbumps sideways! i wanna be stiff as a motherfockner damn it!!!

Sounds like you want groundcontrols with a specified spring rate, or something else you can choose to be super stiff. If this springs are the same as for a 00 gsr, then sell em to me and go get yourself some stiff *** springs or coil-overs.

 

i had it before and yea its all un even but the ride is smooth when u have alot of people sittin in your car it gets out of shape..thats why i went with coilover and shocks

You might consider switching the rear springs with the front ones... this could solve your problem of the front end looking "jacked up" and should also help induce oversteer (assuming Eibach designed the front springs to be stiffer than the rear ones as most manufacturers seem to do)... just an idea.

 

I had Eibach Sportline and tokico struts on one of my previous car, a 93LS and the ride was stiff like ****.

 

would it even be possible are the front and rear ones interchangeable??
