I just bought myself a set of Brand new Eibach Sportlines. Unfortunately, I just came across the string of people who say they have sagging issues. Should I just save myself the hassel and sell them on ebay before even installing them? Is there a high probability that they are going to sag? Thanks in advance.

Just install them.I have the eibach spotlines,and mine haven't sagged.Besides,if they do sag out on you,they are not hard to install,and uninstall if you want to take them out,and replace them.I have had my suspension apart enough times now that i can do it blind folded...LOL.

Just do it...
Really seems like there was a batch of bad springs. Ones before had 0 issues and most since have had none.

If you're worried, just get a nice set of polyurethane spring seats for the rear. That made mine sit pretty straight.

Not all the Eibach Sportline springs had the sagging issues.
Just because some people had issues with the Eibach Sportlines
doesn't mean you shouldn't put them on your car.They give
a really nice drop if that is what you are looking for.
I just don't see why they would sag if the springs were installed
correctly with the spring insulators.

springs DO sag over time, they settle just like other materials and of course of they were produced with cheaper materials the tolerance would be worse and sag quicker
there are bad sportlines out there, never really know which ones they are but it ok to install them, they will last but when the ride drops more it's best that you remove them and throw them away, it's only the rears that will/might sag anyway

you bought them, you might aswell enjoy them

That would be urethane spring isolators.

Go to "Products and Online Ordering" > "Springs" > "Urethane Spring Isolators"

and if those dont raise the rear enough you could also buy a set of adjustable lower control arms to lift the rear end up a lil. Its a bit more work and money, but you're probably gonna end up gettin the LCA's either way in the future

Well, it's a roush stage 2. But I don't think it has adjustable LCA's. They're roush LCA's, but i don't think they are adjustable. Correct me if I'm wrong...

...thanks for the link though

They might sag, they might not. It's like black jack man....50-50 .

If I was in your situation, I would just sell them and get the pro-kit.

I've had my Eibach's on for about 3 years with zero problems. People are going to have problems with every product. The majority doesn't have issues.

I would think that would deteriorate in no time as they are not made for friction just pressure and heat.

Urethane > OEM rubber > heater hose
