Default Any Eibach Sportlines out there?

I want to lower my car to improve handling and also for looks. After lots of looking around I'd prob end up going with Steeda or Eibach...but seems like all springs drop the car only 1 inch or so except for the Eibach sportline springs which say 1.75 in drop. Thats more what I'm looking for but am concerned if thats too much for stock suspension? Anybody have experience with these...

I have the sportlines on my 02. If i had to do it all over again i would go with either the steeda or eibach pro kit. mine is dropped 1.8 rear and 2 front. thats too much because speedbumps are hell to go over.

So are you scrapping every time or only if you aren't very careful...?

i have to crawl over them. the speed bumps are sometimes higher than they really should be.i'm just barely scrapping so the extra half inch would let me clear better.

Mine is 2 inches in the front and 1.8 in the rear which for a convertible is way too low. You may be Ok with the Coupe coz they dont have all the chassis strengthening stuff under the car.

I'm actually going for a Pro kit. I'm sick of scraping in my driveway !

I Have Sportlines And Love Them
Only Things That Ever Scrape Which Is Rare Are The Cats And The Tips Cause My Tips Are Big
Also Rear Spring Isolators Where Ripped So I Dont Have Any On Right Now Which Is Like Another 1/2 inch or 1" Drop In The Rear
Yeah They Have Been Off For About A Month No Problems But I Ordered Poly Ones And Will Install When They Get Here
If I Had Off Road H or X Aint Nothin Ever Touch
Love The Ride Handling Everything
Speed Bumps Are Pain 5mph Or Slower Sometimes So Slow A Snail Would Pass Me But All That Ever Scrappes Are the Cats U See Scratches On The Heat Shield
Performance Wise And Looks Its Worth It To have To Worry About Bumps Watch That Front Bumper Havnt Hit Mine Yet But U Never Know
