Eibach Sportline's or H&R Super Sport's?
I am trying to figure out which one's to go with. I want a bigger drop than the pro-kit offers, but am not sure which ones are better. I know with the super sports, it says you should not use your stock shocks and struts, does the same go for the sportline's as well. I am going to get CC plates regardless. Also, what are the pro's and con's of each. Extremely rough ride, rubbing issues, anything like that. I plan to keep 17" wheels, but want my car to handle and look great. This is my weekend car, not my DD. What is yall's take? Thanks in advance.

both are great springs, yes you should change your shocks/struts and the only real differance is the sportlines are a tad lower. not much differance in ride quality from stock, just looks and handles a hell of alot better.

Sportlines ride a tad lower, but the Super Sports have a much higher spring rate, but they're progressive, so ride quality doesn't suffer that much. Once you start pushing it hard in the turns, the Super Sports will show you a big difference over the Sportlines.
I look at them like this:
Sportlines were made just to basically lower the car and keep a decent ride.
Super Sports were made to lower the center of gravity, and up the spring rate to help handling, and still keep a bearable ride.

Hey man I bought my springs off ebay (after a buddy did) maybe I got lucky but the car sets perfect and haven't had any issues. It looked real good with the stockers but with the 18's I get nothing but props. Springs including installation was like $250.00. It's been so long since I bought the springs don't even know what the name is anymore.
