Default Significant difference in drop?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking on lowering my car with some springs pretty soon..

I have already-
SR Adjustable Panhard Bar
Camber Bolts(not ordered yet)

I am stuck between Eibach Sportlines, and SR Lowering Springs..

I want to know if there is a big difference in drop height once the springs are settled? I want to go low as I can with springs and is the extra $100 on Sportlines worth it? Will the SR springs sit pretty low once settled?

Thanks for the help!

The stance on both is nice but the sportlines will be lower. For the drop I think your looking for with only camber bolts and panhard bar I would look into bmr springs. Better quality than sr and better ride quality than sportlines. Hit up hypermotive they will hook you up with whatever you want.

Aren't k springs the same drop as sport lines? My car with sport lines wouldn't get in spec even with the camber bolts...

I was under the same impression. My buddy has the sportlines and his is way lower in the rear. I think the front is closer with the edge to the Sportlines. THe K springs struck me as in between pro and sportlines.

Simple fix. Rotate the strut mounts 180* from stock. The strut location is positioned around 1/2" off center, so mounting it backwards restores the camber after lowering. I have 0.9* negative camber with Sportlines, right in spec.

If you're wanting to go as low as you can on springs, have you looked at the H&R Super Sports?

No I haven't, I have seen a couple of cars with them and I will look into them! Thanks!
