This is exactly what I hate about sportlines. They NEVER sit the same from car to car. My buddy had them on his 03 GT, & they sat exactly like yours up front & actually the rear looked like it sat lower than the front. Then, on other cars, they look absolutely dumped. IMO, it just seems like Eibach doesnt put much thought or precise engineering into the sportlines...

The funny thing is, I have them on my 91, & with the lower isos removed front & rear, they sit pretty nice. I can fit about 1 finger in between the tire & fender up front, & 2 fingers out back...

IMO, H&R supersports are the best lowering springs for stangs because they have a nice low stance, & the drop is precise every time.



BTW, the wheels & tires look great IMO.

I agree 100%

Had sportlines on my 98 and they sat really nice, actually lowered as they were supposed to but rode like hell. All H&R springed cars I have ridden in felt MUCH smoother.

comfort isnt an issue, with mine anyway. my sportlines ride just as good as the factory springs. its darn unevenness

think that 1/2" in the front would be noticeable? hope so.

Ok, I know this is not a new edge, but I will post this up just for reference.


Here is my Notch with sportlines...

1st pic is with both front iso's installed, & just the upper iso's in the rear...


This is with the lower iso's removed front & rear....


This is with both front Iso's removed... Looked sick, but was way too low, so I went back to just the upper iso's installed...

im going to start calling you 'envy' rather than 'epik' . i wish i had either of your cars, preferably both. or at the least, for mine to look as good as yours.

thanks for the pics. excellent visual to see the change in each step. i lack some smarts in this but the fox platform is something your notch and my 00 shares, right? im sure the suspension is somewhat different and of course the body curves and whatnot but your front iso(s) delete DEFINITELY made a noticeable difference. of course, your car sit pretty sweet even to begin with. mine looks like bigfoot. obviously removing mine wont slam the car but maybe it would make a big improvement in the visual gap

no noises, no vibration, no harsher ride without them?
