sportlines claim to be a 1.4" drop all around, but in actuallity a lot of members show that it is staggered (lower in the front). And that it's more like 1.75" front and 1.5" rear.

post up some pics, I plan on getting sportlines when I have some $ to play with haha

the little books that comes with the springs states that the drop can be from 1.75 to 2.25. Has anybody needed to get a camberkit with this kit?
or alignment

Yea....once the sportlines fully settle you will need an alignment..not a camber kit...I don't have 1 and I went to firestone for an alignment and it went back straight....but since I'm buyin coils next week I might as well buy some

?



Springs standing are wider than the ones sideways. Does any1 know which ones go where. I took it to the shop and they put the wider ones in the back and other 1's in the front. But my car is lower in the back. Were they installed incorrectly? Can someone confirm they were put wrong. Thanks.

That photo is not a great representation of what the specific FA/FG Eibach Sportline Springs look like.

I found this photo in a f/s thread:



The two in the middle go in the rear.
