Im new, need some help

SilentReaper · 03-12-2010, 10:11 AM

I have an 07 Civic EX, stock tire size 205-55-R16
Not trying to do anything radical.
Could I use Eibach sportline lowering coils and be alright?
This is my daily driver.
Thanks

you sure would, after a drop you might need a camber kit but that is a yes for your question!

how do i know if i need a camber kit?
or would i be better off with eibach proline?

with 16" tires, the drop on a pro kit will probably leave you wanting more...

Sportlines generally require camber according to the peanut gallery, some claim not to use it with no issues, however it is presumed uneven tirewear will occur...

You either pony up for rear camber, or pony up faster for tires...pick your poison.

You’ll be fine with the sportlines. I have them on my 08 EX with stock tires and all is well so far.

i have 17s on sportlines

got the front camber kit.. and somehow i needed to run about 2 degrees of camber in the front

and i never got camber arms for the back.. so im running a lot of camber on all 4 corners

These two threads will answer a lot of your questions about running Sportlines.

***Official Lowered on Sportlines Thread***

Eibach sportline springs pics and review.

I've had them on my '09 FA5 for 7k miles with no problems whatsoever. I have them paired with my stock shocks which have held up great. I got an alignment with no camber bolts or rear arms. The front is within factory specs and im running a 2 degree camber in the rear. I have yet to see any kind of premature tire wear or camber wear for that matter.
