sportlines

so everybody says sport lines, but why?

are they really that much better? i understand that they lower the car. but other than looks do they really enhance performance? the car already jiggles my kidneys with the stock suspension.

please just answer. thanks

anything?

they will lower the center of gravity but from what I understand the spring rates are close to stock so in other words no real performance gain.

I just bought the pro kit because I wanted more control and was less worried about the drop.

If you want a soft ride get Tenzor's they drop and IMO are quite sloppy in low speed turns and when going over bumps... or just get fe1 springs(I have a set if interested), they will raise the car but they will also soften the ride.

If youre looking for a spring set that will handle better without the coil bind issues the Sportlines have, you want Pedders. By far the best coils out there for the car performance wise.

Sportlines give a nice stance, that's about it.

The rates cause a lot of floating and do nothing really for ride control.

You still get brake dive

You still get wishy washy with quick transitions back and forth.

But the make the car look pretty.
