Lowering Springs - Eibach Pro or Sportline? Or something else?

[Veeoh]

I'm running the H&R super sport springs. Have them on my car for about a year now and I gotta say I don't have any complaints on them. The roads in my area aren't bad which is great, but when I go into DC there's holes everywhere and to me it just feels a bit stiffer than stock. The height of my car is perfect too.

I have Sportlines and when installed the alignment was done too. No camber adjustments though.


The car looks great but the travel is short so I need to be careful going over potholes. Not had issues with speed bumps (touch wood).

RCE Yellows. Just hope you have an impact gun, if you're doing it yourself. If not, and not taking it to a shop, you'll need 2 allen wrenches, socket with hole on the side for one of the allen wrenches, and a small towel (your palms will thank you for it lol). This is to remove the top hats.

I did it myself without an impact, took longer than it should have. Also, if your arms are long enough, you can remove the rear strut by yourself.

Even with an impact gun, you still have to do all this, ask me how I know.

for whatever its worth, i have the prokits on my car and stock everything else and the rear camber is fairly noticeable (and unfixable without new lca's). if i went to the drop of the sportlines, i would likely feel obligated to get lca's to fix that and would therefore spend at least three or four hundred extra dollars doing so.

You get about a solid inch of drop, and it makes it look natural. if you LOVE the super slammed look you'll need to go more but the prokits ride about as harsh as you'd want out of a street car with stock dampers as it is.

Thanks, this is what I was worried about - the rear camber. Just gonna keep her at stock height for now until I can afford everything to do it right.

He said an inch is fine. I agree.

I put the prokits on my 14 BRZ and really liked how they sat. They settled somewhere between 3/4" and 1" on stock dampers. There's a small bit of rear camber (I don't have any camber adjustment). I also never got the car aligned afterwards (I know I should've buy yolo I guess). Ride is pretty good. Bit harsher than stock but feel and turn in is amazing.

Only problem is that towards the end of your damper's life the ride gets really bouncy.

Got sportlines on mine. Rides just fine until you hit a harsh road the it stiffens up. But not unmanageable. Just feels like a race car. O and I decided to put bigger tires on. I run a 245/40 -18 on a 18x8.5 +35et and no rubbing after I got an alignment. Right now I use just camber bolts and got 1.5 neg camber up front nothing done to the back but showed 2.3 neg in rear hope this helps
