Lowering question

I have a question. I have noticed that there isn't a whole lot of wheel clearance in the front and alot more in the rear. Would it be better to just lower the rear or will that throw off that balance? Thinking of getting Sportliners. Thanks for the imput.

I've been running sportlines for almost a year, they perform great!

Just get them and be done with it, you will not regret it!

How many kms have you had the sportlines on for? Is it a noticeably bouncy ride? How much did it lower your sedan?

I NEED to drop my sedan, the SS/SC springs won't give it the needed drop but after lowering my Z24 with the struts blowing 7 days later i'm a little worried to lower my new car. Struts aren't cheap to replace lol

I've got well over 60,000 kms on the sportline springs and I've never had a problem!
The ride is a little bouncy these days but nothing that is going to spill your coffee.
It lowered my car 2inches in the front and 2.5 in the rear. Prolly lower now since everything has settled in but it looks good, especially with my 17's

Have a look


My car has 101,000kms on it and believe me, if something was gonna break, it would have broken by now.

You will not be disappointed. Get the sportlines.
