Default Eibach sportlines.....

So after thinking about the specs of the springs that my shop ordered for me i am afraid they are sportlines.... They said they were 2" drop up front and 1.7" out back.... So my question is for those of you who have experience with this sort of stuff. If they are indeed the sportlines how will i do without cc plates and shocks struts? The shop says they are 100% sure that it will be fine but what do you guys think? Also.. anyone have any pics of sportlines on their car? Thanks.

my front tires were shot in a week with my H&R sports (supposed to drop 1.5 in the front but it was damn close to 2") you will NEED CC plates if you do any significant drop

my shop said the same thing....then i needed new tires...can anyone guess what they told me when i called and said that thanks to their expert know-how, i nowwantnew F*cking tires? ......."oops"

Basically from my experience anything near or definately over 1.5" drop will need CC plates, not to mention over 1.5" drop get offset steeringrack bushings, bumpsteer kit and Steeda's X-ball joints. High performance strut & shocks are highly recommended (even somein like Tokico's $300 kit). The ride is okay with the stocks for a couple of months but after that you'll be hatin it. I've put some Koni single adjustables on my stang and it was just truely amazing....almost felt like I did a major suspension upgrade. Goes good with some good quality lower control arms too.

Now thats the type of drop that I want, I just dont wanna have to worry about C/C plates, shocks, struts and all that other sh*t until further down the road. Guess if I dont want to add in the other necessities, than it looks like I'll be getting the pro-kit.

Ummm, from what I've heard and have seen, you dont need C/C plates with the pro-kit, thats why alot of people get it because you dont need anything else. I've also heard that with sportlines you dont need anything either, but after a few months you'll need the C/C plates and other things so its just best to get it all at once.
