Sportlines w/ aftermarket shocks
 
Has anyone installed aftermarket shocks with sportlines?

If I was to, what are some things I should consider when making my decision?

I dont really plan on tracking my car ever, but i like the height that it is at right now and was hoping to make the ride a little less stiff.

Im on sportlines and I too have been wondering the same thing. Im happy with my sportlines but not happy about having to replace the struts sooner then expected.

Ive been leaning towards bilstien B8s.

260 for the sportlines

900ish for the b8s

1160 for the set.

Your in the price range for b14s at that point. These are the set ive been leaning towards but im worried about riding on them with a 45mm drop. It says they are adjustable from 30mm to 50mm, still not sure they will go that low and still handle like they were designed too.

So B8s it may be..........decisions, decisions. Keep us updated im sure we are not the only 2 facing this issue.

1.4" = 35.56mm

Now doesn't that change the perspective.

Lol yea but after many hours of looking at the gap after my 18s were put on, decided I might need to go more low.

Now let me get this straight, the bilstiens should have no problem handling the 1.4 - 1.7 inch drop because its on the higher end of the shocks limit?

Really leaning towards b14s for my daily now.
