Nah.. it's just the sportlines. I warned you guys to put those flame suits on. You won't get **** for posting reviews of other springs. Just make sure before you post about sportlines be open for criticism and don't be sensitive.

Come on this is an LS1 forum. For such a badass car, we got quite a soft community

Thumbs up

FYI, there's better ways to get sportline low.

You just have to do a little ReSearch.

Just start with the Suspension "sticky", then keep going from there!

Anyway , enjoy your sportlines and tell us how you like them in about a month.

It all comes down to personal preference. Majority of people on forums tend to jump on bandwagons before trying a product out. Now this doesn't justify if its good or not, just saying. What one person loves, another might hate.

The trick is jumping on the right bandwagon

Enhanced (not fixed) that for you.



I love people who get upset when they don't get a pat on the head. You can always tell who always got gold stars no matter what when growing up....

Do you see any other sponsors in here every day helping others with suspension and brake suggestions and setups? They usually pop in and go "hey i sell that" and you never see them again. Maybe I'm just making **** up, who knows.

Glad you like them.

When I got my car it was slammed and the ride was so bad I switched them out for a stock spring. When I pulled them out I saw they were sportlines. There was no internet bias in my decision to change them because I had no idea what they even were.

No, you're definitely not. That's 100% true. I usually only see a "well, we sell this, and if you buy this get our this and you'll be ready to go!"

Then they're gone.

I've seen this debate one too many times around here. I have never tried Sportlines myself, but they are great springs for a photoshoot.

Aside from that, I have the Pro-Kit and it is a fairly uncomfortable spring (can't imagine Sportlines being even lower and softer), but since I'm driving an old F-body, I could care less.

Default Sportlines with the right shocks

Well, here is my input about sportlines. I've had them for almost eight years now and with the right struts and shocks, they're fine to me. After I put them on with my stock setup, they bounced like a sob, after I upgraded the struts and shocks, they're great. I'm one of those who like to be low center gravity, pull around corners fast once in awile, but mostly straight line runs! This guy said he likes it, leave him alone.

I've had sportlines for sometime now and I have no problem with them and I've also got just about everything thing else done too! I'm also older than most of you to boot too! (thought I'd never say that but what the hell) I've had more F Bodies and Corvettes than most I happen to like the sportlines, period! I also build my rides for what I like and no one else, so flame me if you want because I'm fireproof! And yes I hate speed bumps too! If you like them that's fine! if you don't well that's fine too and your can also buy some Stranos!

You're not serious right??? Wouldn't that essentially be like having NO springs?

to the op, rock them out, who cares what everyone else thinks. its your car. i have them on my car, and i do like them. yes, i do need to get different struts and shocks, but for right now they work pretty good. i like my car being as low as possible, i would probably make it lower if i could, but for daily driving this is as low as i want to go.
