red = sportlines
black = pro kit

dont know if you've read anything about this but they have a tendancy to sag....my rear sportlines sagged drastically, lowering the rear of the car by over 2.5 inches over the course of several months.

They were probably sagging & thats why the person is selling them. I wanted sportlines originally til I started doing more research & every1 said they sagged in the rear. Thats why i bought H&R' supersports.

Only the sportline kit has been known to sag. the pro kits are ok. I like H&R better because there springs dont have to settle, when eibachs take a little while to lower all the way.

Those are evil sportlines, they do in fact sag bad.

Pro-kit ftw! Great spring for moderate handling increase, doesn't slam it, but drops it nicely (especially with smaller/no isolators).

Yup, those are the sagging ass Sportlines. Took those out and replaced them with some H&R SuperSports on my GT and haven't looked back

Those are not Sportlines (94-04) anyway. They do look like something that would fit on a S197.

Agreed,they are to tall,i know mine aren't that tall,the red is off,and there is rust coming out of the red.The Eibachs have a thin rubber like material over the springs,not paint.
Is there a part number somewhere on them,if not,they are probably stockers painted red.

And not all rear Sportlines have sagged,mine never did,but then i have had them for 3 years in my 5.0L fox,and going on 5 years in my '03 GT,so i must of got my sportlines before the bad batch came out.
