If you think the eibach's are rough, I would recommend nothing other than stock lol.

it won't harm the car at all, if that's what you're asking. But better handling comes at the price of feeling road bumps more.

too bad the sportlines are merely an appearance mod for the ss/tc yet they give you a harsher ride and worse handling

i had the eibach's on my 06 SS and I swore after we traded that car for my 09 turbo that I would NEVER lower a car again. it rode so rough any little bump felt like a crater in the road. it looked nice, but rode like ****. i would totally go back to the stock if i were you

Some people are more than willing to give up some riding comfort for better handling. Some people are ricers, and consider springs an "appearance" mod. Those that consider them an appearance mod will be upset with the ride after lowering. (does not apply to lnf)

are you saying that they're not better than stock for an 06 ss?? Are you talking from experience, or are you just spitting back what other's have said.
