I'm sure people have asked this question a million times. I picked up a used set of Sportlines. Should have done more research on here before I got them but now I have them. How detrimental would it be to run these with factory shocks? I already have an upgraded panhard bar and control arms. It's a relatively low use car, and would probably swap them out next spring for some strano's/koni's. Also, about how many hours of work is involved in getting them in?

Thanks.

We ran the sportlines for quite a while (Over 2 years i believe) with the stock shocks, and although the ride wasnt perfect, it didnt seem to hurt the shocks.

It probably doesn't matter. Those springs are so poorly designed that it probably doesn't matter what kind of shocks you use.

I rarely see anyone say anything good about the ride quality about sportlines. The response is usually so overwhelmingly negative. I'm surpised to see NVR liked them.

Sorry to rain on the parade...

I wouldn't spend the money to install them . . . . Somebody sold them used for a reason . . .

Sorry, i fixed that. They did ride alright once i got the subframes in, but it could have all been in my mind. It was exactly 2.25" lower than my buddies stock 02 Firehawk at all 4 corners.
