Default Eibach sportlines

I am looking at getting eibach sportline springs for 93 fox, i have been looking around some come with pinion snubber, it doesnt look like the eibach sportlines do, anyone with them know if it comes with it or do i need to get an adjustable one?

Yes, the Sportlines come with the snubber. Eibach > H&R

haha sorry Keith

i just sold my car this weekend so im deciding whether the '33 is gonna get a 408W or your 347, still weighing my options.

i might even *gasp* go with an all aluminum 4.6 stroker just to be as light as possible...

one of the other guys on the FFR forum is just about ready to do the engine for his Cobra, so ill pm him and let him know yours is still up for grabs, hes on the fence between a SBF or a nasty 557BBF...

personally like the 200lbs less weight myself...

For what it matters, I have CJPonyParts Sportline (Eibach Sportline) springs in my 89 LX hatch, and have 275's in the rear with absolutely zero rubbing. Had the springs in quite a while, and they haven't started sagging at all. I have no idea what 'snubbers' are, so I don't think mine came with em. As far as ride...my car rides a lil stiff like a performance car should. If I wanted a ride like a Cadillac, I woulda bought a Cadillac. Just my 2 cents.

i like the amount of drop that the sportlines lower it, im going for slammed look or close to it, guess maybe i need to break out wallet and look at coilovers unless you guys can recommend another spring type
