gbae007 · 08-22-2006, 01:34 AM

How much of a drop does a Sportline set give? That looks low!

Andysofiyah · 08-22-2006, 01:59 AM

its a 1.4 drop all around

Si-aficionado · 08-22-2006, 02:43 PM

Beautiful drop. Sportlines are awesome springs.

kenchan · 08-22-2006, 03:08 PM

when you take it into get the alignment, make sure you either sit in the
car while they adjust or put weights in the car to match your weight.

progressive rate springs don't compress to its working position right
after the car is lifted off the rack. if the shop adjusts based on the
higher ride position, your car will come out out of spec.

depending on the spring rates, some people like to put additional
weight in the car (anywhere from 50-200lbs) to force the car
to settle to its working position right after the car is placed
back on the ground (or back on the rack).

what i do is measure your current ride height, then lift the
car off the ground, place it back on the ground, and
remeasure your ride height. add weights into the car
until the car settles back to your original ride height
at each corner. try it a few times to check that the
car immediately settles to your original ride height.

that will garantee your aligment to be correct even
without you in the car. :)

Have you notice any driving improvement since the install?

SpeedDemon · 09-06-2006, 09:57 AM

Holy shit, thats low..

I purchased the Eibach Sportsline, but I havent put them on yet..

Now im wondering, weither or not its to low, do you got more pics?

larryd · 09-06-2006, 12:55 PM

Damn that looks lower then my Si on sportlines. I wonder if the HFP kit really sits that much lower.

RedSIinPA · 09-06-2006, 02:20 PM

I think they look alike Larry, it's just his looks lower because of the kit. I personally think that is a great looking drop. Now go buy white 18" volks and pimp it tough...

AllOut128 · 09-08-2006, 08:38 AM

any scraping with 4 people in the car?

ahslimjim · 09-12-2006, 03:16 AM

i got my eibach sportline in yesterday.. n i was wonderin do you have to install the Rear Spc Camber? if so, how much did you pay for it n where?

edrhee83 · 09-12-2006, 12:12 PM

You would probably have to install SPC camber kit. If you want u might as well get front camber kit. I installed Eibach sportsline too.
U can either get it from Ebay from import auto performance for $260 shipped or corsportusa for $275 shipped.
I got mine from ebay and it was shipped pretty quick.
Here is the link to Ebay.

Go order it on WWW.CLUBRSX.COM its 244 straight up and its free shipping. i guess thats cheaper then other sites

I just got my alignment done yesterday after it settle in for 3 weeks. it looks good but the back is still sitting a lil to high for me personally. its a 2 finger gap in the rear and a 1 finger gap in the front. just gotta wait couple more months for it to settle in and ill see from there how it would look.

The ride quality is better. not to bouncy. not to much body roll
