Skunk2 vs. Sportlines?

Nighthawk07 · 06-14-2007, 02:42 PM

What are your opnions on these springs? Supposedly skunk2's drop you more, but according to some pictures i've seen it appears the sportlines give just as much of a drop. Should I spend the extra money and get the sportlines?

If you have any pics of your cars on either of these springs please post them up.

And I just finished with about 1/2 hour of searching and can't find what I'm looking for, so please don't tell me to search.

Sorry, no pics of the car with the Skunk 2 springs. My drop seems similar to the car pics above. You will have to use camber kits with the Skunk springs.

it's about the same, I have the skunks as well but skunks may drop the front a tad bit more than the eibachs but the rears seem identical.

I have the Eibach sport lines The drop is real sexy and about even front and back the front looks almost tucked on mine as well as the back. The ride is like stock until you hit bumps,etc but thats normal with any drop the handling improvement is amazing i vote sportlines.

heres my car w/ sportline.

Nighthawk07 · 06-19-2007, 07:59 AM

Awesome, thanks for all the pictures guys. I think I'm leaning towards sportlines even though they are a bit more pricey.

inyong1988 · 06-19-2007, 08:00 AM

im guess my pics helped out? haha

[]V[]addog · 06-19-2007, 08:19 AM

looking good guys. i thought most people were swearing by the Tein springs.
the sportlines look to have a great drop, I'll only need rear camber correct?
any place that you guys know of in canada for these peices?
are they just for SI, or for the r18 aswell?

inyong1988 · 06-19-2007, 08:27 AM

they're for all the 06+civic models.
and im not running with rear camber kit btw...gotta buy one in a meantime tho.
