I have C-Springs with all isos right now on a 17 inch rim with 255-40 tire. Thinking about getting Sportlines and using no isos. What is your opinion. I get them cheap. I like the look of a lowered car and just want others opinions.

I have the "c" springs without the iso's and it gave me a full 1 1/2" drop front and back. If you want to go lower, you could just remove the front iso's and cut off the "dead" coil on the rears.

Sportlines seem to drop every car differently. I have seen cars running sportlines & they looked totally dumped, but my buddy put sportlines on his 02 GT, & they looked like a pro kit to me. It actually looked like the rear sat lower than the front....He fixed this by removing the front iso's & it gave the car the slight rake it needed....

That being said, I want to get rid of my H&R supersports on my 95 because its my dd & I am tired of the harsh ride from the super stiff spring rate of the H&R's (700-760 front & 275-300 rear). The Sportlines actually ride surprisingly smooth because the spring rate (425-630 front & 140-295 rear) is relatively soft for how low the are supposed to drop the car....H&R's handle better though....Sportlines feel like a better daily driver spring....


Here is a pic of the car b4 the isos were removed....Not a very nice stance imo, & it looks like the car has a reverse rake,but SRT's car looks bad@$$ & ha the perfect stance....

sportlines suck.
almost all eibach springs end up lowering the rear more than the front for that infamous reverse raked stance as EpikGT stated.
i will never buy eibach springs again after my spotlines. do a search. there are countless threads on sportlines.

sportlines are CRAP!!!

they ride terrible and you will drag everywhere you go. you should look into the H&R super sport springs. they are really low and have a better ride quality.

i swapped my sportlines for some H&R race springs and changed to Tokico shocks/struts and the ride is incredible

I hate the ride quality of my H&R supersports...The spring rate is way too stiff IMO. they handle pretty good for how low they are.

Most people will agree that The Sportlines Right better than the H&Rs due to a Lower spring rate.

....Go with the sportlines....I <3 mine

I agree about the ride quality being better, but the stance seems to be hit or miss with the eibachs..yours looks sick, but it probably wouldnt look as good without removing the front Iso's, & the adjustable lca's probably help with leveling out the rear end....

For those that care, the H&R's feel like they handle much better than the sportlines, but for my 95 I want something thats gonna have a nice stance with decent ride quality. i dont care about corner carving in my DD, thats what the mach is 4 I guess Im getting old, but driving around town on m H&R's kills my back....

With that said, I might be switching over to sportlines on my 95 since i have adjustbles lca's too, & the front iso's will be thrown in the trash....
