  • Pro Kit VS. Sportline

    Hey guys I am to the point where I am ready to lower my car and im looking at the different springs out their. I definatley want to go with Eibach but im not sure if I should go with the pro kit or the sportline. Does the Pro Kit lower your car enough? Does the Sportlines lower your car too much? Anybodys thoughts are greatly apreciated...if you got pics of these springs I would like to see those too. Let me know what you think, thanks.

    That pic looks pretty low....not ground scrapping but low enough to look good. I bet the Sportlines are too low??? Anybody else got an opinion or pics?

      I don't know if I'm correct on this, but I believe that I recall someone saying that the special Eibach SLP springs are the best for our cars. You might want to look into those. Don't forget relocation brackets with the springs. I think some people say to get shocks but I'm not the one to know about that.

          The after pic worked fine for me. The pics I have seen of the pro kit look pretty good. I think that is what I am going to go with, anything lower than that would probobly be too low. Whats this about relocating brackets? You have to get those with the lowering springs or what?

            The relocation brackets are to correct the geometry of the car like it was when it was stock. The way that the GM engineers intended it to be. They connect to the lower control arms. They are also known as anit-squat brackets. I'm not quite sure if there is any cons to not having them but it's probably a good idea to get them. Maybe some one more knowning can explain their purpose better then I.

                  You've got it. When you accelerate the rear end of the car tends to be pushed down ("squat"). If you lower the car the front end (only) of the lcas moves down and the angle on the lca causes the squat to increase. The relocation bracket puts the lca back in line and reduces squat.

                      hey Dojo...that was pretty lame giving him that link. If somebody posts something about a part and you dont know what or where it is then whats the big deal about asking the person where he/she can get it. Not trying to get in a fight with you or anything but I thought that was messed up.
