On the sportlines the progressive portion is mostly (or maybe entirely) compressed from the car itself I believe. I will be testing the sportlines once they get produced and I receive them. I'll have some datalogged track data before, and after, plus street driving and autocross opinions to post in a review.

The Eibachs ease communication between the road and the steering wheel, it feels like a naturally, sportier setup. The D2s are a little on the harsh side, but right now I have them on the stiffest setting. If you just want a slightly sportier stance then go with the Eibachs for the mid-$200 range. But if you want to tweak your setup I would definitely go for some coilovers.

^^ what's the offset of your new wheels? I'm sure it'll be fine, and anytime you lower your car, you should be getting an alignment.

You need to have your alignment checked for sure. After my install, I was at zero toe all the way around, so I did not adjust it. I have no idea what it was before the install!

I appreciate if someone could give some impressions on the handling with the Eibach Pro's and stock shocks. Is the advantage of lower centre of gravity killed by the shocks working in a non-optimal area? Can you feel any difference in cornering speed up or down? Thanks!

Car feels a little lower and stiffer. Not much, but just a little. No negatives from my point of view.
