Lowering eibach pro or sportline
Which one do you prefer? I like the sportline coz its only $150. cheaper than the pro-kit? but what is the advantage of pro-kit other than the looks? will the sportline is better handling than the pro. I have an 18" inch wheel from Ford.

sportline, you will bottom out on pretty much every bump and open yuor doors into curbs when you park on the side of the street, handleing better, yes.. by how much.. who knows
i recomend the pro-kit. its hte perfect height.. you will bottom out on speedbumps if you go to fast.. your doors will clear msot curbs... i have the pro kit and i rail corners about 45% faster than i would have with the stock suspension
btw rim size is irrelevant to the the application

its just your frame under the car.. square tubbing about 2 and a hlaf feet long built into the cars unibody.. stratigically placed so when the car does bottom out, its in the area of the likely spot where the car would bottom out

Hmmm i know a dude who has the sportline and it only dropped 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" and he dont really have a problem bottoming out unless its a big bump but he doesnt bottom out on 90% of the bumps he goes over. And also the doors dont scrape the curb when we get out on the curb so it sounds like you may have over exaggerated a bit

im in canada.. maybe our curbs are higher?
dunno lol.. but with my prokit measured at the time it droped about 1 1/2.. after the springs set i think its about 2 1/4 .. the sports would be more IMO after the springs set

Lol i dont know if it really is a 2" or more drop then he mustve gotten the pro-kit, i just know he said he got the sportline but im sure you guys know a little bit more about them then i would guess he has the pro kit.
