Anyone with sportlines? I just want to know how low it goes. The pro kit is kind of to high for me, but thanks.

i've read that with lowering springs, it takes a while for your car to set to it's correct height.

Always just go get a fat girl friend. Do you have before pictures and have you taken any measurements?

Sportline is a little lower then the Pro Kit. I wanted to see how the sportline looks like. I have tokico illumina's im trying to find a set of springs to match with a little higher spring rate. i know sportline doesnt have a high spring rate but i want to see

i recently put on KYB 4way adjustables and the sportlines. no complaints. not too low. reduced body roll significantly. I set the KYBs on 2 (moderate) compared to 4 (hard-on)!!

i had crappy coil over sleeves on stock struts and that wasnt a good idea lol after a year or so. I just got my tokico illumina's and im waiting for my neuspeed race springs to come in the mail. I was going to go with agx's but it's only rated for a 1.5 drop and i want to go a little lower than that.

are KYBs really good with the Sportlines? which KYBs are you referring to (if there are any other than AGXs)? how much do they usually run for?

Eibach has their Pro Dampers that were specifically designed for use with the sportline and pro kit springs. You may want to check into those.

you should cover up that license plate yo.

did you have a lot of negative camber after you installed the springs? i got it bad both front and back. more in the back than the front but the front seems to wear out faster than the back. would you reccomend Eibach's camber kits for the 4th gen? if not what would you reccomend?

I have sportlines on KYB agx's, about a 1 - 1.5 finger gap all around. Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't feel the difference between the different shock settings. I'm currently riding on 2front and 3rear. Maybe I'll turn the shock settings to 4 all around to see if I notice anything. As someone said in an earlier post, hI have camber also, more so in the back than front, never bothered to get a camber kit.

The height is pretty low for the streets. I've actually bottomed out a couple of times over the bigger than average speed bumps.

I have camber issues as well, cause I have no kit. I wouldn't really call it an issue though, cause the tires I have now have been with me for 10 months and are showing no signs of premature wear.

eibach sportlines were my first springs.. i just remember saying, "yeah i guess its lowered".. handled great not bouncy felt nice, but its not to low trust me and the difference between the pro kit and the sport line is .3 inches so i am pretty sure the shocks will hold up ok
