Sportlines or SSC Springs

Ok guys,now that i am wingless i need a drop,what i want to know is how long have you had your springs and have they sagged to the point where the ride is rough and are you on factory struts,and i'm talking about both the sportlines and ssc springs,thanks.

with the sportlines the drop is pretty dramatic so i would definately get some koni shocks or some type of adjustable shocks, lots of people have there stock shocks blow after a few months when they dont upgrade the shocks also.. idk about the ssc springs.

I have the SSCs on mine as well. I don't think it matters either way, both are about the same drop. The Eibachs have a stiffer spring rate, so you'd probably feel the road a little more than the SSCs.

I love mine.. drop was perfect. 3 finger gap in front and back, on my stock 15"s.

Koni Struts will make either one ride better than stock though!

The SSC's ride just fine.... have a very nice drop and stance! And for the 100 bucks difference in price! Yeah, they are worth it!

Personally my vote still says if you can get a set of SSCs jump on them. I drove mine home and showed a guy at work and my fiance doesn't even know the car is lowered... she rode shotgun all weekend

I think that i am going to go with the sportlines, because they are a nice drop but not to much and the ride is sopposted to be the best. Also you dont have to worry about them sagging like i have heard from the SCCs.

how do Eibachs drop it more??? SSC springs are 1.5" or more and sportlines are 1"F and 1.3"R and Canuck Motorsport springs are a completely different drop than the SSC's all together.

wrong. the eibach PRO-KIT (color black) are a 1"F and 1.3"R. the eibach SPORTLINE KIT is 2"F and 2.5"R(color red)
