Eibach or Tenzo-R
Monday, January 28, 2008 11:46 PM
Ok, i was just wondering if the Eibach Sportlines are for better overall balance of the car. I see i drops the front 1.7 and the rear 2.3
I know that our J's sit a little higher in the back and was just wondering if they developed the lower drop in rear for better balance of the car.
And will the sportline be TOO low of a drop? I have a Bomex kit for the 04 sunfire.

i have the exact same car, kit, and am wondering the same question. i know the prolines are the smart choice for city driving, and but the sportlines would look so sweet

any thoughts from people using these?

Any Performance, as far as balance with the sportlines. would it be better than the pro kit?

Indeed. The previous owner of my car decided it would be smart to cut the springs (d'oh) and leave them on stock struts (double d'oh). It rode like @!#$, it didn't stick to the pavement at all, and in the end I snapped an axle because of it. If you're getting lower springs, please get the struts to match.

thats my car on sportlines, i like the look of the back being just a lil bit higher than the front... id stay away from the tenzo springs, aslong as ur city streets arnt to bad and u learn how to properly drive a lowered car sportlines will be fine...

Yeah im getting new struts. lol
The sportlines lower the back more than the front though. So it gives it an even overall balanace.

well then i guess its a matter of price then for you. sportlines will require koni yellows or tokico dspecs which are about 550 new just for the struts. if you choose to get the prokit you can save alot of money because they will not drop your car as much hench they wont need a higher damping strut

yeah thats the deciding factor. if i go with the prokit what struts should i go with?

prokit you can do the kyb agx struts since the prokit is only a 1.4" drop

ok, thats cool. what would be more practicle for street/strip use? Pro kits or the Sportlines?

Cuz im afraid if i get the Pro kit, it wouldn't drop enough. and if i get the Sportlines it might drop it TOO much. lol

Get some ground control coilovers and you'll be able to adjust the height. Then get some koni yellows for them
