I want a sporty ride, but fear that the car will be too low with the sportline. Any sugestions?

I've been waiting for spring rate numbers myself. But even when I do get them, there is no currently viable solution to shortened/stiffer shocks and struts yet.

IMHO, what's the point. The car sits low as is, and could really use a re-valve only and gain tons on stock springs.

Swift springs. Thank me later.

I have Eibach Pro Kit springs, and they lower ride height by just over one inch front and rear. If your car has low mileage (and suspension has plenty of life left in it), the Pro Kit is a nice improvement in handling for the street.

If you intend to track the car at more than a beginner level, this the Pro Kit will still be too soft. I'm using the Pro Kit with spring wedges to stiffen it up until the OEM suspension is completely warn out. I have done this with other cars as an interim measure before doing a full suspension upgrade.


To do it all again, for street and track, I would have gone to coilovers in the first place. :o

I put pro kit springs on my car after 1,500kms and haven't looked back, I didn't notice any harsher of a ride. Looks much better with only a minor drop.

Pro kit hands down. Sporty, attractive, safe as can be on the stock shocks, and comfortable for the most part. I've had mine on for about 4k and I love them.

You think are cars sit low? i think they look like SUV's on stock.

+1 The car is quite high with the stock suspension.

Not as bad as the 3rd gen Eclipse was.
