Default just finished my eibach sportline spring install!!

hey guys

just an update me and my buddy erich just finished installing my eibach sportline springs and gt500 strut mounts!! well the install was quick and painless!! it looks amazing i love the low drop it gave it... as far as ride goes so far its almost the same as stock just a little stiffer in the rear on big bumps!! so ive been driving on this for a day now and all i can say is wow!! the car is a whole lot more fun to drive, it handles alot better, less body roll, looks great and it really helped with my wheel hop issues its been a little wet here from the snow melting and ive been trying to get it to wheel hop and it just wont so i have nothing but good things to say about the sportlines!!


by the way it is a :05 gt premium 5 speed,stock shocks,eibach sportlines,gt500 strutmounts!!,and performance goodies also !!

You may find that in a day or so it settles a little more and ends up even a little lower.

Not to cut in but...is it true that over time they will sag, or is that with any type of spring install?

Congrats on getting lowered !

The shocks will give you problems first; they aren't designed to work in the lowered configuration. They'll last awhile but eventually will fail. (do a search, lots of posts about it).

Yeah, these things handle much better when lowered, FTW!
