[Thatcher]

hey,
I'm in the market for some springs to go with bilstein sport shocks. I live in New England, so I dont want race springs that are really low. BUT, H&R sport springs look too high and I'm sure I could get away being lower than that. Here are all of my options that i can think of for springs..
-H&R sports (a little too high)
-Eibach sportlines (haven't seen pics of them..they sound like a nice drop to me)
does anyone know of anything that would work for me? I dont want neuspeed springs because i have heard some bad stories about them for quality issues. I am looking for about a 2" drop. If anyone has pics of the eibachs that would help too. thanks

Well, I have seen the drop on the Eibach Sportlines, and it is just not low enough for my liking. That's why I ordered the Neuspeed Race Springs, which is a 2" drop.

I had the Eibach Sportlines (with stock struts and shocks) and they rode really nice. The front didn't settle right so it wasn't as low as it should be. But my friend has it on her cabby and her's sits real nice in the front. I'm back on my steelies now (for winter) with the H&R Cup Kit and love it

Here's a pic of the sportlines on my car:

There is NOTHING wrong with Neuspeed quality.
People just do not like them as much because they have been played out by the honda crowd and are a little expensive.
( biased opinion - I own neuspeed sports

Mine have treated me well. The dead coil is removed to ride a little lower in the front

Re: spring suggestions (osiris)

I would get the KW's but since theracestore.com refunded everyone cause for some reason they couldnt get us the coilovers. KW of america offered us the coilovers but for about $250 more...still a good price but i cant do it. someone just told me about the weitec group buy so I might get the gt 60.40 kit for $350

thanks for the pics http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: spring suggestions (vwoah)

Eibach Pro-kit. All the quality, less drop than Sportlines and same load carrying capacity as OEM!
Good technical material on Eibach web page as well as Tire Rack's web.
