I have had both Pro Kit and Sportline springs in my car and the Sportlines are the lower spring~

Yeah I got mix up between the two. I been having very limited amounts of sleep

congrats pekingduck!
Just curious, how many miles did the dealer put on the car before they handed the keys over? Nice drop and great choice on color by the way!

[Snoopyalien24]

Nice and congrats again!

Once a couple more people take delivery of their cars, we'll have other people to pester for information and hopefully you can catch up on some rest.

@ Lonewolf,
WOW what a statement!
Eibach should halt production of Sportlines b/c your buddy's struts went!
You can't drop a car 1.5" with springs and NOT do other things to compensate!
60,ooo miles on my Sportlines and everything's cool! If it's metal and comes from Germany, it rocks!
I see lowered RSXs etc. on the highway bobbing up and down after a bump like a 50's Cadillac and think "hmmm, must be a Japanese spring"

As far as security goes what alarm are you thinking of installing? N since they didn't drill the front license plate on your front bumper, what license plate replicator are you thinking of getting?

The cup holder is a concern of mine as well, but considering I only really keep cups in there to a trip to a fast food place and back, it's not a big deal.

I really love and will miss my cup holder to left on the dash (yes it's awesome) on my EP3.

But enough about me, congratulations and I hope you have fun with the 86.

I love my hidden cup holder in my EP3! lol

The drop is MORE than 1.5 inches on many applications.

Not only that, the ride with Sportlines (*even with aftermarket struts) is miserable. Reputable race shops decry their function as well, hilarious, isn't it? With sportlines and new aftermarket struts you
would have been better off just getting coilovers in the first place.

Don't worry once I get my car this week I'll be on hear answering everyone's questions and making lots of mods right off the bat

I am not a very much diy type. I hate posting picture because I have to take picture, then move to computer, resize, upload, and then post. Also I don't always have a computer infront of me, just my smart phone. I would like to answer done of question though. I will post everytime I get a new part I would like to post. I hope to see other member post there modification and get ideas from you guys.

I do have plans for my car like, suspension, Bucket seat, wheels, basic bolt on i/h/e, 5 axis kit, and whatever else I can get my hands on that not to aggressive for daily driving.
