Eibach Sportline or Tein Stech

ayenoc · 12-02-2006, 01:36 AM

Eibach Sportline or Tein Stech.. on a Ex coupe. Btw my brother, Albert had the sportline on gurl's Lx before and the front dropped more than the rear. I just need youe opinion guys. Im getting a hook up from him for the following

Eibach Sportline - $140 pick-up his friend Andrew 1.4 drop front and rear
Tein S tech- Ebay $139 shipped.. 1.3 front and 1.4 rear.

Thanks,

Patrick

from what I read I'd get s techs even if I could get some new sportlines for 100,,

just remember...

that going to a 1" drop is all cool with the exception of a wheel alignment, however when going below a 1" drop requires a camber adj aswell aka camber-kit

Not required, but recommended. It really depends on how it turns out after the drop, and if you want some more life out of your tires.

Torredo · 12-02-2006, 03:44 AM

if i just spent $200+ on each tire (as i did) then yea...Camber kit would have been an option if i were to have gone with something other then the Eibach Prokit (installed) and wheel alignement was definetly needed!!

JeShUa · 12-02-2006, 04:32 AM

meh,, I think if you just roate your tires regularly,, why get a caimber kit right?
just fix that toe!

I love my sportlines... Don't let the numbers fool you, the s-techs aren't low enough.

JeShUa · 12-02-2006, 08:43 AM

whats low enough? I basically want the wheel and well to meet,, thats all I'm looking for,,, you want another look,,

PoLiShPrInCe · 12-02-2006, 09:41 AM

i personally grabbed the s-tech because i found that eibachs always seem lower in the back then the front... i personally dont like the look of that

***darna*** · 12-02-2006, 02:59 PM

sportlines...

don't believe everything you read. eibach says 1.4 drop front and rear.

i got 1.6 drop... wuuuuhhhuuu!!

subieguy83 · 12-02-2006, 04:23 PM

when i had the sportlines, the front had like half a finger gap and the rear had almost 2. the stech's gap is much more even.

I was telling the original poster, but anyways, if you're looking to have the fender be even with the top of the tire, and have even gap all around, then definitely get the sportlines. The s-techs do not eliminate the gap in back, and give the car a more raked look.

JeShUa · 10-25-2007, 03:45 PM

Yeah I actually agree after I've seen more sportline installs.. much cleaner. S techs look a little 4x4 to me. I heard a few problems about sportlines but those were resolved.

si_civic · 10-29-2007, 03:48 AM

Thanks Jesh for bringing this one back :)

Eibach max WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better products than Tein. More race team world wide use Eibach springs than any other manufacture. However, both will blow the stock dampers eventually.

AXIS · 10-29-2007, 11:38 PM

i think the sportlines give an even drop. all others give that raked look that i'm not feeling

Sportline > S-Tech
