Attn FA5 eibach pro kit or sportline owners

ao47 · 05-06-2008, 07:52 PM

I just wanted to know before I made my decision. Do you guys think I will have any rubbing issues with stock wheels and 4 passengers in my Si? I have a family and I want to be able to transport them without any rubbing issues. With that in mind, would the pro kit or the sportlines be the better choice to having 4 passengers while also considering I'm on stock wheels? Thanks!

subscribed, looking into getting either one of these shocks, ive heard of people rubbing with a full car though, might be with aftermarket wheels and tires though.

sportline definitely does not rub with stock wheels and full load, i have done it.

I have Pro Kit no issues whatsoever.

was planning on getting sportlines, but they would rub with aftermarket wheels im plannin on getting, probably 18's so might switch to pro-kit...

With stock tires you shouldn't rub. But if you plan on getting something wider and bigger then you might.

I would go with prokit for the more subtle drop (I have prokit w/ 18x7.5 +43 wheels 215/40/18 tires). You wont have rubbing issues w/ both springs w/ stock wheels but I would worry about suspension travel in your case since you'll constantly have passenger in your car, the lower you go and the heavier the load is for your car, the more chance of bottoming out of the suspension which will lead to wear of your shocks/struts quicker. Just my .02
