sportlines or pro-kit?
 

Guys i have a little dilemma, I've just installed the eibach sportline on my FRS and my initial drive i loved it and it looks damn sexy. But after 4 days im on the fence about how i feel.

On the freeway i get a slight bounce but not to bad and on bumpy roads its a little to firm for my liking. I was wondering about selling or trading my sportlines for eibach pro-kit. My question is does the pro-kit have the same feel as the sportlines? Are they just as firm?

Im in San Diego anyone have the pro-kit on a FRS i can check out?


thanks in advanced:thumbsup:

I think overall the feel will be similar. I am in Corona and I have the pro kit. If your in the area shoot me a PM. Glad to give you a ride.

does your ride get really bouncy on bumpy roads too? that's what i don't really like

Pro kit is the lesser of the drop right? In that case, thats what I have. Car is not bouncy

I prefer the Sportlines to the Pro-Kit for the height difference alone. It may ride slightly harsher, but it's not bone-crushingly rough IMO

I went with the prokit even though the drop on the sportlines does look better (when the butt isn't sagging) but personally I don't feel comfortable lowering more than an inch on stock shocks. I figured if I ever wanted to go lower I would get coil overs.

Good call. I got the Pro-Kit as well. It's a really clean, aggressive stock looking drop. Get 15MM spacers in the front, 20MM in the rear. This gives it a flush factory aggressive look, without the wider aftermarket stance.

In the morning i leave for work when it's dark 4:25am. im like yea im going to swap out for the pro -kit. But when I leave to go home and im walking to my car after work i fall in-love again. lol

i think im going to swap it tho.

thanks man, this makes me feel much better. I'm going to take out the sport lines off this weekend and sell them off or maybe someone wants to trade?

I did this, but with 20mm at front, 25mm at rear.

go find DarkCard's asphlat car, he has the same set up with spacers. Looks killer for OEM+

Yeah looks good, but for some reason the rear still looks more tucked in than the front...

Was thinking maybe I should've got 30mm for the rear instead?

Here is mine on sportlines. The ride can be harsh if you go over dips or bumps. Theres a few drops I've had driving at like 80mph where the freeway just drops for no apparent reason and sometimes that hurts. On smooth roads it's not that bad.

It's worth noting that the TRD springs are identical to the Eibach Pros and cheaper. Been back and fourth between staying stock, TRD, or RCE's. Wheel gap doesn't bother me at all, but would like to improve ride quality and get rid of some of the stock bumpiness over rough roads. Anyone have any thoughts as far as ride quality?

Also, anyone running these (or any kind of a drop) through last winter? Was the ground clearance ever an issue?
