The more I see Sportlines... The more I think that's the way I'll go.
With 18's or 19's 9's in the front and 10's in the back I think it would look even better at that height.

More pics please!!!!

Does the sportline kit have a rougher ride than the pro kit? How is the ride Emilee?
Thanks!

i don't think the ride is different at all, maybe a little rougher going over a pothole or something, but i try to avoid those anyway.

I think the car's steering response got a LOT better though. i really notice a difference in that.

it will be even more awesome with the 19" wheels i have on order.

Where did you get those drop measurements? Eibach lists those springs @ 1.6" front and 2" rear.

Yeah I'm with you John.


If it makes you happy, that's sweet bro.
That's a bit too 'slammed' for me.....

We measured in the garage before and after. Looking at it now it may have even gone down more after driving it for a day. maybe 2.5 all the way around.

Actually i'm not a bro (pssst d.h.p is female!) hehe

I love it like this, i can hardly tell the difference with the pro kit pics you guys have all been posting, so i wanted it dropped more. Everyone that has seen it in person thinks it looks really nice and i have gotten numerous comments that it looks "WAY better"

It sure pays to slow down when posting - so much for trying to squeeze a quick post in and run to the kitchen to get dinner.... sorry about that Em!

well, just got it back from alignment, everything went ok and they did it just fine, so no need for new camber plates or anything!! This is good news to me.

More pics will come this weekend. My friend chris takes awesome car pics (he took the one of my car in my avatar), so he's gonna take some more. I however, stink at car pics and they look like they came off my cell phone. lol.
