SSC springs vs eibach sportlines

hey guys i have decided to lower my car whne the weather gets nice out, i have no idea how to though. I know there is the eibach sportlines and the prokit but also these ssc springs. I want my ss sc to sit lower in the back and front but also stay higher in the back so the car is still tilted forward. Everyones pictures with sportlines looks like the car is even in both the back and front. Does anyone have picture of before and after sportlines and before and after ssc springs. This would be greatly appreciated


thanks guys

Plus the SSC Springs are no longer made and are harder than hell to get.

Sportlines would be an easy nice drop.

I got sportlines and love them. I have heard good things about SSC springs too.
Last I heard is that they are hard to come by now though.

Here are so pictures of the sportlines on.

I have SSC's. No complaints from me whatsoever. When i got mine they were a lot cheaper than sportlines plus i dont like how the sportlines even it out, i like how it sits higher in the back.

So do you guys say that the sportlines improve handling? I have been trying to get a straight answer on this, but some say that they are more of a cosmetic drop...

I know you asked about the Sportlines but the SSC springs bad a hell of a difference...lower center of gravity of course and a lot less roll.

nobody right now... you can get Canuck Springs which are suppose to be the same spring according to the manufactor..

I emailed the SSC website about purchasing and this was my response...

"Sorry we do not retail springs we only wholesale to Dist min order of 50 sets you can purchase these on line thru Ebay and Canuck Motorsports "
~Wayne

I'm gunna assume that means canucks are the same. They appear the exact same on the website at CanuckMotorsports.com

I emailed SSC and this is what I got:

"Hi Corey,

The price is $162.95 plus taxes. Shipping is $33.00 via Canada Post. Front drop is 1.9" and the rear is 1.6".

Thank you for your enquiry.

Andrew"

thats not true, i could call ssc right now and get them. Distributers are dropping them though.

I had em and they sagged even though they said 100% no sag guarentee, then it was hard as hell to get replacements so I just went with sportlines and I will never go back
