The Front Dropped more with Sportlines?

TrueBlue03 · Dec 8, 2005

oops. yea about that question, i honestly dont know anything about cutting springs. i have absolutely no knoweldge of it, and i've heard so many different things from different people. A couple guys on here are all for it and say its perfectly okay to cut them, then i've met people who called me a dumbass for wanting to cut off a little bit of the spring.

one thing if for sure tho, i know a lot of people who have F'd up and had to buy new springs alltogether cuz they made them all uneven and/or cut them wrong, etc...im not really the guy to look for info on cutting springs, but i know it would do the trick, but i dont know the side effects.

I got the same problem and im one of the guys TrueBlue is talkin about that is pissed off about the way the front sits higher. I plan on taking the bottom isolators out up front putting in new poly-urethane spring isolators in hopes that maybe they're better than the stock ones and will raise the rear a slight bit. I LOVE how the back sits, i just wish the front end was the same.

This is why I'm going with H&R springs. The Eibachs have too many horror stories of sagging/uneven drops. Some Eibach cars look great, others don't.

urethane isolators will be harder and will therefore probably raise your car up a bit if aything.

i am glad i have old sportlines

Ugh, I can't believe I never saw any of this info before buying them...amnit: Any others have comments on the spring cutting?

tomustang · Dec 9, 2005

just replace the rears, trust me

Alacrity · Dec 9, 2005

The rear drop is pretty nice though, if anything I wish I could replace the fronts. But if that's my only option I suppose I may do it.

can you get pics?

Alacrity · Dec 9, 2005

It looks a lot like TrueBlue03's, except that my back may be dropped slightly more. I'll try to get pics soon today.

cool

Just remember the spring may not have been fully settled and more of a drop will lead to tire kissing the fenders which will lead to slashing

Well I'm off to shovel the driveway now....after that's done I'll back the car out and snap a few pics for you guys. This is so damn frustrating...wish I could return them for the bad drop!

I figured that I wouldn't be able to though, since wouldn't I have have return it to the place where I actually bought them from? Who knows, maybe Eibach would take them...Anyway, I've gotta get off of here and go shovel that damn snow.

Can you order just the 2 rear sportline springs from Eibach?

I just called Eibach and they'll look into the issue, depending on where you got them is what you have to find out of you can get them replaced, so far

yup...my $320 each tires got all slashed and hacked up cuz they dropped so much in back. i was hoping more people would have seen all my past threads about this issue of sportlines, but i guess not.

yeah with the increase of this problem I was told by the CS at Eibach that they haven't had any complaints sent to them about it, hope they take care of this issue

i think my front dropped about 2.25, and 2 on rear

i think you got the older ones mity cuz i've seen a lot of pics of your car and the stance looks good with your sportlines as tomustang said, i think its the newer ones that tend to sag in the rear.
