Are Sportline Springs bad as everyone says?

[everglow]

I have KYB AGX adjustable shocks I also need some front arm bushings and a camber kit if you guys can send me links to cheap ones. But I keep reading it's been 4 hours and I can't tell if sportlines are really that bad as people say or not cause them and pro sound soft but I dunno. With the KYB AGX shocks the H&R Race Springs or sports be that much better? I mean how bad are they really and how do all of these compare I have to order them this week so please help in deciding what to go for

I dont think they're that bad, IMO. It depends what you're looking for. If you're looking for a ride thats similar to stock, you're looking at the wrong springs.

alright so Proline vs. H&R sport which is better?

if your intentions are just to have the lowered look and ride as smooth as stock, go with the eibach prokit. If you want your car to get lower and have decent springrates for when you go to the track, get the h&r's.

cheapest place I have found the pro-kit has been $224 anyone know where I could find it cheaper?

go to RRE, they have a picture of a car with pro-kits and another with the sportlines. The prokit doesnt lower your car much. I have the h&r sports and it's perfect for me.

well the way people make it sound, the sports make it seem like it's a horrible ride. Whats RRE?

Sportlines are worse than Pro-Kits because they are even lower but not much stiffer.

Pro-Kits are crap because of their puny spring rate when compared to their ride height. To run a Pro-Kit ride height you need AT LEAST 500 lb./in rate - PKs are 330, which is useless. Even after moving to short dampers like Konis the car will still spend most of its life on the bumpstops - nasty ride, nasty handling.

Compared to either of the Eibach kits you will get a better handling and (much) better riding 2G if you use stock springs and Konis.

JToby has suggested the H&R kit coupled with Konis as the best budget compromise - I have no reason to doubt this.

With my AGX's everyones saying Eibach the H&R pros are cheaper than the Eibachs but everone seems to be saying to pair the pro-kit with the AGX's?
