Default Eibach Sport line springs?

Found a set of sportline springs for $125 slightly used. Has anyone out there used them and what do you think? i'm looking for something nicer than stock and to lower the *** end so the tire fits the wheel well better.

Try a search.
This depends on what you are after. Sportlines generally slam the car compared to other springs, and don't have the rate to compensate for the drop, so you are hitting your bumpstops harder and more often then you should. If all you are after is the slammed look for cheap, and you don't care about ride or performance then go for it. If you care about ride, handling and traction then look into a proper spring (and shocks for that matter).

I have Eibach, and if I could do it over, I would have went Strano. The look is nice, but the performance sucks. Spend the money right the first time man, I'm going to have to re-do mine because I wanted to save a little money at the time.

They say they don't perform well because they don't compared to other springs. They are too low, and don't have enough spring rate to compensate for the drop. Try some better springs, you will like them much better.

Avoid sport lines and get the Pro Kit if your stuck on Eibach.
