eibach kit difference

[josherino]

I have been thinking about getting either the eibach prokit or the sportline and some kyb agx
struts, but what is the difference between the two spring sets and is this a decent suspension setup?

Im a Tokico fan myself... the KYB AGX for a 2G the front shock body length is too long for car that are lowered at all. However, you have a 1G so i dont know if 1g have the same problem. The prokit is a approx 1.2" drop while the sportline is approx 1.6" drop

do not get Sportlines with KYB shocks, thats what I have. I lowered 3" which is more than I should have, and my real driver KYB shock blew out on me. You will scrape on everything. I'm going for Tein Basic Coilovers now and Tokico Adjustable Shocks.
Just thought i'd shade my experince with you.

Hey Josherino, this is a very common question. With that said, here's a list of discussions that you should read through:

A "decent suspension setup" depends heavily on what you'll be using the car for. If you want to get a detailed answer, you'll have to be much more specific on what you'll be using the car for and what your budget is. Personally, I'd suggest not going with Sportlines unless you only care about looks. They're too low for these cars. Prokits/AGX are probably the most popular choice for a decent cheap combo for the street.

don't get me wrong sportlines will hold you to the road hands down, but i live metro area, lots of speed bumps, train tracks, and just steep inclines, I'v messed my front bumper up really good and blown a shock in the process. just not not me, but when I take it to the mountins around here I can make some pretty sharp turns without sliding and hold on nice and tight. Coilovers are the best way to go, you can adjust them for street driving, and set them for when its time to go use that muffler we all have. If I could do it all again...which i am re doing i'd of gone with coilovers to start

I tried the link,but it didn't work. my immediate goals are to run 12's at altitude, but more so I just want a suspension that will be aggressive with turns and handle well on the road, it doesn't have to be an all out road race suspension, but my budget looks like it is leaning toward the price of springs, i need to do this soon cause I have one blown strut and 2 others are leaking, so help would be very appreciated
thanks
