Default Eibach Sportlines or Pro Kit

I just ordered new rims/tires 20x35x245 front and 20x30x295 rear. I am having a tough time deciding on the Eibach pro kit or sportlines. Anyone have any good/bad experiences with either? I have heard if you go with the sportlines you will have problems with alignments but it looks great.

Thanks

I would stay away from the Sportlines...JMO The pro-kit is the most popular for a reason!! I think the Sportline looks the best obviously but quite frankly the look isn't worth the consequences from what it sounds like. Just be safe and go for the Pro-kit.

IMO, lowering the rear is all you want to do. Lowering = harsher ride; 20's = harsher ride. Do both and you get harsher x harsher. If you are thinking of a chin spoiler forget about Sportlines right off. Look at the front on mine with CDC chin spolier and not lowered. Have to be so careful on driveways in particular (here in the northeast anyway).

The back needs to be lowered more than the front; you can see the OE excess gap over the rear tires; OE front is not bad at all.

I have the Sportlines with the same wheels you are getting. The sportlines are a little stiff, but ride pretty nice. There were no allignment issues and I have been on this set up for 20k tires are wearing properly. Hell man, why don't you just buy my car....lol

Your car looks awesome, painted mirrors and all . Very sweet ride you have there!!!

I can only speak for the roads up here in the northeast. If you were to drive your car around up here you would not like the ride. Up here youwill appreciateall the spring travel and sidewall you can get.

My kidneys sometimes talk to me, but our roads in the NW are pretty good.
Banshee is buying the same wheels as I have so it gives him a good idea of the gap. If you have really rough roads I would say no Sportlines.

I'm switching from Pro-Kit to Sportlines and from 18's to 20's.
