what should i know before i do a sportline drop?

Its REALLY LOW and you'll need some camber adjustment. Also learn how to avoid potholes and speed bumps.

i wouldn't recommend sportline for on-road use. its a 3" drop by the time that u get done with it, u'll have to purchase stiff struts with it as well (kyb agx or koni adjustable) and a camber adjustment kit. also, by doing this drop with those springs, ur gonna be sacrificing most all ride comfort, as u will feel pretty much every bump in the road in the road. if u hit pot holes or any kind of major blemish in the road, u will DEFINITELY bend ur rims.

This is a KYB AGX and Eibach Sportline drop on my car. Far from a 3 inch drop. It barely droppe my car 1.75 inches. I'm also riding on 18 inch rims.

Don't you love it when people make stuff up? I've had sportlines and 100% of the above is 100% false.

What about the ride quality? Was there a substantial difference when you went to the sprotline springs? Another question, did you have to get your tires aligned afterward. I know the camber changed, but what about the toe-in?

The ride was just as soft and crappy as the stock springs. And yes, you always have to get an alignment done no matter how little you change your suspension.

Lordmunch, you car is awesome!! Where are you on long island? I am on long island also. What mods do you got. Sorry for all the questions.

 

[Lordmunch]

Thanks man. I'm out in the Islip area on the weekends. I'm out in Blakeslee (Pocono) P.A. area Mon- Thurs. If you want to meet up. I'm up at Deer Park Ave on Friday nights with my boys. Too many mods to list.

My car is an Eclipse hehe. I swapped out the middle piece to feed some more air to my radiator over the intercooler. The Eclipse middle is a solid reflector. I didn't like it much.
