Edm,
If you had both sitting there, which would you throw in a 1gb on agx's? The S's are a touch more money ~20-40$, but they are only a 1.2 drop where the eibachs are 1.8.... Any major reasons to choose one over the other? :)
 
I had the Sportlines on my car when I bought it. The roads here is Wisconsin are pretty bad. Even with my Koni's set on full hard, it would still bottom out on the bigger bumps. I replaced them with the Teins, much better.
 
I too run agx/sportlines on my fwd 1g laser, nice ride for CT roads. You can bottom anything out really .
 
Tein spring rates (on their springs not coilovers) are softer than stock. If i were you I would get Eibach Pro-Kit. Its common knowledge that Eibach usually lower cars more than they claim.
 
I went with the S-techs for less of a drop. (Supposed to be 1.2 inches) Seem to handle just fine with the AGX's.

I've ridden in a 1g with the sportlines and the bottoming out was ridiculous.

Listen to Dnhieu and get some type of camber adjustment. You can get the fully adjustable ingall arms or the offset bushings to run in the rear. In the front you can use camber bolts with a cam on them.
 
I have a camber kit already. I have gr2's with sportlines right now, but am buying a set of agx's. So I will put either spring on them, and then sell the other set to offset the cost of swapping them. It's only between what I've mentioned, other suggestions aren't needed.
 
i just yesterday put sport lines on and they are really nice. but for some reason my car had 8 inches of clearance befor and now it has about 5 3/4 clearance at the same spot. i have kyb struts though.

im happy with them.
