Eibach Sportlines or Skunk2 Lowering springs??

rockerverb_08 · 03-18-2008, 10:27 PM

Hey, just wanted to see what your opinions were on these 2 types of lowering springs and need help on deciding which to go with.
***note that i have a 17inch wheel and the HFP aero kit.

I dunno if the Skunks 2.25 and 2 inch drop is a bit much...I'm not looking for a rice look, nor one that will bottom out on a small speed bump.

Anyways....opinions would be nice.

Why would going 2'' be ricey these SI's dont look like rice with a low drop they look sexy go sportlines there are better quality from what i hear and i run sportlines and they have treated me well.

well...I guess youre right, but you see some cars out there today that are lowered and they look like the owner was trying to hard.

how do the skunk2 feel.. i just bought the springs and control arms.. waiting to find time to install..

JDMFGSI · 03-19-2008, 11:10 AM

honestly...the skunk2 in my opinion...feel a lil' bouncy...but worth it for the money...although i'll be switching them out for a full coilover suspension...like teins...or maybe koni's/redshift...we'll see...overall satisfied...considering i bought them brand new for $115...

I have skunk2 spring and I love the drop. It seems the si has a lot of ground clearance. The only thing I dont like about the springs is that they are noisey. Very creaky. Im going to try to fix that.

ummm I vote for H&R sports

samx109 · 03-19-2008, 06:25 PM

***sh33t_0f_p4p3r*** · 03-19-2008, 06:43 PM

i wish a vender would make a group buy for camber kit and springs :-(

808ggm · 03-19-2008, 06:52 PM

can the skunk 2 and eibach roll with stock struts?
if so how long can they last.. may i ask =D

rockerverb_08 · 03-19-2008, 08:12 PM

beautiful...what size wheels are those?

rockerverb_08 · 03-19-2008, 08:17 PM

I honestly cant tell the difference between the Skunks and the Sportlines...eventhough there apparently is a half-full inch difference between the 2 springs.
