.. Pics before and after: (remember these pics are before the springs settle so I should get a bit more drop)

The biggest difference was the rear:

very nice! good work man

blk ss/sc 1

awesome .. love sportlines... the back sits up WAY TO HIGH stock.

looks good

Yeah, it levels the car very nicely.. the wheels sit in the wheel wells much nicer now. I cant report on the handling yet as I still need to get it aligned and dont want to get crazy until I do.

Ride is actually better than stock on smooth roads, on larger bumps you can begin to feel the stiffer springs. Cant wait to take it around some twisties with these springs.

Sweet lookin ride man. And with these Sportlines on the SS/TC, do you need any other suspension mods with it, or with these springs be ok?

Looks good. Minus the fact that you painted over your Brembos

Looks great! Be sure to update after alignment and when it settles a bit more.

Sportlines are awesome! I hope u like them. I LOVE mine

I have the stencils to paint the logo back on, I just havent gotten around to doing it yet.

The stock logo is just painted on - there is no stamping or anything like that. There is no paint or powder coating on the stock calipers either, so expect them to get nice and rusty after a few years with no paint.

Uhhhh......since when does aluminum rust?????

How did this affect the camber? did it throw it way out of spec or is it bearable?

IsItFast?

Dont know yet - Im going to get it aligned tomorrow. Im going to get the numbers after the alignment. I dont suspect its that bad - I cant visibly see negative camber, and the lowering isnt that drastic over stock. (unfortunately I forgot to measure before and after).

Rownan

how much adjustment is possible in stock form? I know when I dropped my 06 civic si I had to buy adjustable rear upper control arms to keep the rear in spec.. I definitely plan to lower my SS next spring..

if you want to go lower there is a kit from a company in vancouver that makes a 1.9" drop all around and it got it on my car and it makes it sit lower then the eibach kits its tho most drop out of just a coil change i could find. the kit is only around 200 bucks

IsItFast?

With this kit there shouldnt be any need for anything else - this drop is not extreme, so driveline angles should be ok and should still be close to spec.


I got this kit for the performance upgrade, not just lowering. If someone made a kit (that wasn't coilovers) that didn't drop it at all I would get that instead. If you drop the car too much, you have to worry about the angles on the driveline and camber correction kits as well.

sportlines ftw

sheldon729

our cars do sit stupidly high def loks good

How was the install? let us know how the stock valving handles the eibach springs! Mod im considering soon

IsItFast?

So far so good. I had the alignment done this weekend, they had to grind one of the struts a bit to get it into spec, but not much.

I have noticed a huge difference in handling. The car handles much flatter now, I can take turns much faster.

I cant wait till I can get it on a track to really try it out.
