OK guys I need ur suggestions..
I have a 99 civic ex coupe and i currently have itr springs however im getting rid of them for some eibach sportlines. I want to maintain a moderately comfortable ride with a noticable drop. I have done some research and sportlines spring rates are good enough to provide this. or am I wrong?
How are your experiences with sportlines..
Thanks in advance

 

Eibach are the best springs made. They are made for comfort but usually they don't lower your car as much as other brands.

 

nice sprigs nicest quality for the money.

 

i have em...and 100% satisfied with the rates (comfort) and looks (drop)

 

THANKS
i dont know if i want tokicos ..but i dont want to spend koni money..
wut do u guys have with ur sportlines..thnks again

 

AGX adjustables
got them for 250 a while back

now their found for 350

 

i have sportlines with tokcio adjustables.. i like it a lot.. my old roomate has sportlines with agx's . . i found it a little too harsh.. even on the softest setting..

 

have sportlines on my GSR sedan.
look great.
ride great.
wish the rear was a bit higher spring rate though.

when I had to get springs for my second kaaaah, an EG, I bought Ground Controls because the sportlines are just too soft for me.

 

Hey owen is the ride too soft in the rear??
What is the disadvantage of it being too soft? You cant handle the corners that well...?
anyway thanks for the input
I think Sportlines are gonna be the ones i get though...

 

i just installed the sportlines about a month ago and they're great...the ride was a lil' bumpy when i first put them on but now it rides perdy smooth...i'm not sure about which shocks to match them up with yet, but if you or anyone finds a nice partner for the sportlines let me know...

 

Sportlines w/Koni Yellow's... you will NEVER regret it. Save your money and do it once. Don't settle for less than you are capable of getting, especially since you said you want them. The ride is fabulous. I got raped buying mine b/c I was in a rush. Spent about $660 with shipping. I've seen them go for $489 plus shipping a few times, you just have to look.

 

Yeah but arent Koni yellow a bit expensive for just daily driving..which is what i will most likely be doing?
I was considering just Tokico blues..

 

u should really look into adjustables.....if your also going to race
a stiff suspension helps alot.....on SHIFTS, Launches, and handling

 

Koni Yellows are expensive for daily driving, but they are adjustable so you can set them for the best combo of ride/performance. I have them with Integra Pro-Kit on my Civic and love the setup. Rides real smooth and handles great.

 

Koni Yellows may be slightly more expensive, but they are worth it. I have had quite a few different suspension combos on my car, and the Konis have rode the best.

 

If you don't do anything aside from normal driving then maybe the koni's will be overkill.

 

i have a 94 coupe with tokico 5 ways and sportlines...it rides great and handles good....but i like them better since i did the shocks....i will only buy sportlines

 

Im only trying to be careful about how much money i spend..
Koni yellow are expensive...so if i dont need them what is the point??
Any of yall have pics of 99civc with Sportlines? thanks

 

just get sportlines with AGX's

cheap combo (i got it all for $420)
adjustable!

okay handling....would be better with swaybars
its stable as hell though!
and just gives an aggressive stance!

 

Hey owen is the ride too soft in the rear?? YES OH YES.
What is the disadvantage of it being too soft? TAIL IS HAPPY, LIFTS AND DROPS WAY TOO MUCH, NOT AS SOLID A FEELING AS I HOPED FOR IN A SPORT TYPE SPRING.
You cant handle the corners that well...? CORRECT. EVEN UPGRADING TO ITR SHOCKS ALL AROUND MADE A DIFFERENCE, BUT COMPARED TO MY EG WITH KONI YELLOWS AND GC COILOVERS, THE SPORTLINES ARE WUSSY BASED ON THE REAR SPRING RATES AND I DONT LIKE THEM FOR THAT REASON. I DRIVE REALLY HARD AND ALWAYS TRY TO BRAKE VERY, VERY, VERY HARD -WHICH CAN HAVE MAJOR EFFECTS ON THE REAR END OF THE CAR.

-sorry to use caps, I am not shouting, just separating my answer from the question

 

The Eibach Sportlines are awesome springs. They are progressive, so they seem soft at first. I've regretted pairing them with Tokico HP shocks, though. The car wallops too much over bumps and seems to float at high speeds. I'm planning on getting Bilsteins after I get rid of the Tokicos. I don't race the car and I've heard that the Bilsteins can handle the Sportlines pretty well.

Ride is great on the sportlines but ive noticed on a couple of cars that the back looks like its dropped more than the front .

 

how about H&R Sport (Integra rate) springs? These springs are great too. I am not sure about the spring rates compared to Eibach Sportlines though. Does anyone have the spring rates on the H&R? Also which one would be better spring?

 

Eibach Sportline 1.7/1.7 457/171-257
H&R Sport 1.75/1.5 340/186

Rate wise, Sportline are stiffer.
