I installed H&R springs yesterday and noticed both front eibach sportline springs were broken off at the bottom isolaters. Ill upload some pics in a few. It looks like they've been broken for some time. I've had these for about 4yrs 50k miles. Needless to say after the new springs were in the ride is now like new.

man, i have to admit, you never know what your going to get when you go with Sportlines. I mean, i have sportlines, and i love love love them, but jeeze, it always seems like people have some BAAADD stories about them. I guess its jus the luck of the draw huh?

Damn dude. I've got the prokit springs with about 70K on them with no problems. The fact that both of them did it makes me think it is either poor install or **** springs.

I think the combination of bad front struts, freezing weather & enormous potholes did it. Or maybe it was that time the car got some air...

That has to be caused by VERY cold weather making the metal brittle.
