Sportlines or S-techs?

Emerican · 03-08-2008, 05:08 PM

Hey i'm getting front and rear spc cambers.. and am stuck between which springs I should get..

Either Eibach sportlines for $220 1.4inch drop

Or

Tein S techs for $185 1.5 inch drop

What do you guys say? I heard both are nice, and i've already searched on the forums for other posts.. But i'm stuck.. I've heard sportlines are more comfortable, but i've heard S techs are really good too...

Help!!

Also if anyone knows were I can get them for cheaper, please let me know!! haha

Sportlines. They give way more than a 1.4 inch drop....closer to 1.8-2. and Tirerack.com has them for 197.00

i bought the S-techs cuz i got them for a great price, and i've heard from many people there good, so... i am planning on buying a full coilover kit within the next year or so. i am just using them temporarily until i have money for the other kit, then i will just re-sell these. there good tho

tirerack.com says they are a 1.4 drop front and back also, but if they are close to 1.8 would that be bad if i had 18" wheels? would there be any rubbing? would i have to watch out for parking garages? lol

I can't say whether or not they would rub with 18's because im not sure. Tirerack does say 1.4, but if you tlak to anyone, they will tell you its more. Also, with ANY drop more than 1" on our cars, you going to have to be very careful with speed bumps, dips, garages in your case and anything that might rub the from bumper or make your tires rub.
I'd think you would be fine with 18's on sportlines, but if I were you I'd do a ton of research. Or, go with the S techs to be safe. I have heard alot of good things about them when I did my research not too long ago, but I personally think the sportlines are a better buy. And made by Eibach, they have the experience of many years building for race cars and other drop springs.
Just my $.02.

iam in the exact same situation man for my fa5. I heard from someone in person that s-techs creak and have a pogo-stick type feel to them. I have only heard good things about eibach and sportlines. Iam probably gonna go with sportlines just so i dont really have to worry in case the s techs do make noise. Hope this helps

^^ same, i'm thinking sportlines

CivicSi907 · 03-09-2008, 07:18 PM

i am also in the same situation, and i will take the sportlines, because they got more drop!

I had the sportlines with 225/35/19's with no rubbing issues, the drop is perfect for 18's or 19's in my opinion, they ride very good also, slightly firmer than stock.
