When I have time I am going to install...with a little help from my friends, my Eibach Sportline Springs. Has anyone installed these springs? Any advice to pass on? Also, what kind of drop can I expect? Any feedback will be great! Thanks!

 

just got mine in the mail yesterday plan on installing them today i'll let you know

 

I have the Sportline's installed in my GT. It's a pretty deep drop so be prepared for that. After the springs settle your front end will have quite a bit of negative camber and it will need to be realigned back to spec. I had to have an aligment shop modify my struts to accept new camber bolts to be able to get the correct alignment done since the stock bolt would not allow proper camber adjustment after lowering.

Ride qualtiy was a lot better than expected, I expected it to be bumpier but it turned out for the better. Handling became much better, turns became tighter. Steep drive ways can be a problem though, you will most likely scrape your mid pipes when you hit the peaks.

Expect a min 2" drop. You also might want to consider an adjustable Panhard rod for the rear end to get it aligned with the body.

Here's a pic the day the springs were installed, the car was 3 days old at the time.



Another angle, you can see how much camber the front wheel has prior to a realignment

 

Thanks for the feedback. IsaaX, your car looks great. What a great color for a Mustang. I appreciate the advice and can't wait to get them puppies installed!

 

is the sportline kit lower then the pro-kit? looks nice man!

 

Thanks for your coment

Yes, the Sportline kit gives more drop than the Pro kit. The Pro kit is suppose to give a 1" (or a tad more) drop and the Sportline will give it at least a 2" drop.

I'll be ordering a set of Mustang Tuning Anthracite Deep Dish Bullitts (18x9 and 18x10 set) this week and I can't wait to see how it'll look like on the car.

 

finished installing my springs today havent drove my car yet but the drop is great i'll give it about a week to settle then i'll get it alligned

 

Sweet! Got pics?

 

ya just have to upload them onto the pc and edit them i'll have them up tomarrow

 

2.5 in front and 2.2 inch back drop

incredible increase in cornering agility

 

Yeah, i'm getting the same set of rims when my tax return comes. I just can't make up my mind if i want the chrome or the black with chrome lip for my black gt.

 

I am getting the same rims too, 4 18x9 anthracite rims and 2 18x10(drag radials). How much does mustang tuning sell them for, got a link? cheepest i found is 495 shipped.

Another question, im stuck between the prokit and sportkit, does lower mean better handling? or just an increased look?

 

Ive read that the prokit are stiffer but dont lower your car as much. Im leaning toward buying the prokit because I want a lower car for better handling but not so low i scrap the bottom going into driveways or over speed bumps in parking lots.

 

someone told me that if when I install the Sportline kit I am going to have to "notch" my car. Is that true? I don't want to do anything where I can't go back to stock if I do not like the ride. If anyone has install instructions for this kit I'd appreciate it. I bought my kit on ebay and did not get install instuctions. Please advise.

 

I installed my Sportlines last April the ride seemed to get stiffer over time I got a set of Tokico's and that seemed to take care of any problem with the ride.

 

I was going to get sportline, but with me having 20's, I was told that this was not an option for me and I went with the pro kit.

 

sportlines clear 20's

 

i am certainly hoping so, and have been told so by a number of knowledgeable people...the question then becomes how wide of a tire can be fit with the sportline and 20s...im thinkin i might be stuck with just 285

 

dont know about how how wide of a tire you can fit... id think you could fit a 315 nitto since they run smalller than regular tires but im hoping that i can get 295's on mine

 

thats pretty low...

i got the pro-kit because steeda springs didn't lower enough and pro kit is just enough that i won't scrape on everything...
