do you find that the car almost has a bit of a reverse rake with the sportlines?

I'm thinking my 12" sub box in the trunk plus the "leveling" of the suspension that the sportlines give netted me in an almost reverse rake look...but its only like that at certain angles.

I think it's your sub box. If anything, my sportlines had just a little too much rake, until I went with larger rear tires, which filled in the gap. Still has a wicked rake, but it's now justified.

What I noticed is that these new sportlines are very different from the 05-09 sportlines, in that the older ones lowered the rear so that it sat completely level (which I liked) and these new ones maintain an almost stock rake, even though they do provide a significant drop (but even the drop isn't as low as the older ones).

Looks Great Fast_351!
I am thinking of switching to a different spring.
Reason why is because I switched to the GT500 Wheel/Tire setup and now there is too much fender gap with the P's. I still want a rake though.

Anyone have noted in one thread or post, what the front/rear drops and handling/ride quality for each of these springs is (FRPP, Steeda, Eibach, etc.)?

About 1 1/2" for the Eibach pro kit and the ride is very good, plus handling is very good. This is my 2nd Eibach kit and my next car will get one too.

Shopping for new springs so I thought I'd re-visit an old thread. Bumping it for those who haven't seen this yet and may be in the market too.

How about an update from those who posted pics...how are you liking your springs? Are you still rocking them? Have you changed/upgraded to something different? How's the ride quality?

My update: the Roush Extreme springs are a great starter, but now I'm ready for a more aggressive drop with some upgraded dampers. They felt fine at first, but I think my stock dampers are about done for as the bouncy-ness is annoying now and bumps are not so pleasant. 7500 miles on mine now. I just ordered some Koni STR.T's from Sam Strano and I'm now on the hunt for a new spring.
