Alright I'm trying to figure out the pro's and con's of each set-up but I'm having a hard time getting an exact bead on the better choice, what has worked best for you guys?

Spyderman2007 · January 25th, 2012, 06:32 PM

never had either one but reading does wonders.... from what Ive read eibach hands down!

darksideofeclipse · January 25th, 2012, 06:36 PM

I've been digging through our archives looking at old posts, seems to be split down the middle

Spyderman2007 · January 25th, 2012, 06:41 PM

really.. guess I should have looked more.... LOL always heard eibach was better...

pat_08GT_Spyder · January 25th, 2012, 06:46 PM

isnt Eibach like 2x the money too?

darksideofeclipse · January 25th, 2012, 06:51 PM

yea 220+ on RRE website, 240 on ACI, im sure im paying for the brand name somewhat, but this is a mod i want sustained performance out of in the long run ya know

I've never had either spring, but keep in mind that those are only going to give you a small drop, probably just enough to lose the ugly wheel gap. If you want to actually look somewhat lowered then Tein-Stechs all the way. Also keep in mind that you won't be scraping anymore than you normally would with whatever kit you go with (stechs included). At least, I haven't.

darksideofeclipse · January 25th, 2012, 07:13 PM

thats what my goal is, lose that god awful wheel gap and see a lil better performance of the car

phenom · January 25th, 2012, 07:38 PM

I've never seen anyone say they have had problems with any of the springs you've mentioned. So I guess it would come down to price, if it were me.

midnight07GT · January 25th, 2012, 07:44 PM

I had sportlines on my mustang. Loved them.

Phantom_4G · January 25th, 2012, 08:26 PM

I cant remember if it was the megan springs or the megan coilovers that ppl had such a hard time with, but Ive got the Pro kit on and Im satisfied. The ride is just like the stock springs with aftermarket rims. But ive got D2 coilovers sitting in my garage so my prokits may be posted on here pretty soon for literally half the price of what they are online. Last thing I wanted to mention is that with a GS... im sure youve read that your drop probably wont be as drastic as someone who has a GS so if you were looking for a pretty moderate drop.. Id got with the S Techs or the Eibach Sportlines TEMPORARILY until you are in the market fo coilovers.

KJR · January 26th, 2012, 06:10 PM

About how much drop does the sportlines give?

agustin · January 26th, 2012, 09:15 PM
