@Racecomp Engineering What is the point of having such high front rates on the Yellows?

I am having a big issue deciding on which springs to get. This is my daily driver and I have another car that is a track car. I really just want a better feel without much harshness added. Filling the insanely large gap would be nice as well.

Anyone have some advice?

[imravenit]

are the inches on the springs are the amount of drop?

[imravenit]

ive done a lil bit of research but i was hoping you guys can help..

so far the only company i know that provides you with the most drop is the EIBACH with there sportline springs..

any input? advice? thanks

drop is listed in inches, however some springs wont give you that drop until the springs settle after install. Also some will drop and additional .1-.3 after spring settle from the listed drop.

Advice? i don't believe anyone can give you accurate advice because you haven't told us what you want to achieve. Looks or performance? mix of both? compromise one over the other?

Did some window shopping. Found these springs by vogtland and even some megans... the vogtland's drop is 1.6" all around with an unknown spring rate (I sent an email). The megans are 1.75" in the front 146lbs/in and 1.25" in the rear 230lbs/in.

Any one know if there is any australian stores with Sportsline in stock, i have just ordered from Eibach Australia and they have said 3 weeks until they are in australia.

Also if anyone who has these fitted, what are you thoughts on camber bolts ??
-will i need them
-what do they do

Also i have been looking at some Spacers for the rear to give it abit more poke.
-can i do this?

Im running 18x8.5 +45 all round

Thanks

I was able to align my fronts without any additional products. I wanted -2.5" of camber for my rears and that happens naturally with the sportlines, so i didnt have to do anything in the rears either. I got 1.6 inches of drop both front and rear. My springs didnt settle at all and are the same now as they were after my first rally around the block. Im running 18x9.5 e38 with 255/35s square all around and have zero rubbing. The ride isnt like stock contrary to popular belief tho. I like it much better than how my stock setup felt. Much tighter and much more aggressive. Hope that helps.

I am having a hard time figuring out what springs or coils to get for my girls FRS. She wants a aggressive drop something like the Eibach SPORTLINE. But does not want the harsh ride it gives. She dos not mind a little stiffer. She also wants to do track HPDE events and perhaps some auto x for fun but nothing very serious. So I am not sure what can achieve the low look she wants while having a comfortable ride. We were looking at the pro street coil over and the R1 kits.

Sorry if somebody already asked this question and i missed it.

best shot i had access to atm.



as you can see the rear tires tuck in sooooo perfectly. If you want to see what it looks like on an extreme drop, check out @636 's build thread. Same setup as me but running a much more aggressive drop.

I do prefer the cambered look in the rears as well even tho a lot of our people prefer very little. I may even look into adding some camber to my fronts and reducing the current poke i have.

Yeah, I'm running -3.5 degrees in the rear, if I had a 10mm spacer it would be gorgeousssss.
