S-tech or sportline?

xxbodkinxx · 07-20-2007, 03:30 PM

Getting 18x8 wheels, 45 offset. I will be daily driving the car but 90% of it will be commuting on highway to work. I want to be as low as possible without rubbing issues.

* Eibach Sportlines //// 1.4" / 1.4” //// (P) 125-222 in. lbs / 131-262 in. lbs

*Tein S-Tech //// 1.54” / 1.42” //// (P) 230 in. lbs / 270 in. lbs

Thats the spring rates, the eibach are progressive if I am reading it right. They will be a little softer which will cause easier rubbing issues right?

I need advice/suggestions as to what you would go with.

imo sportlines once they settle in they give the car a real aggressive look !!!
