I'm loving it! Looks and handles so much better! i'm definitely sticking with 17's. i feel 18's would be too much. plus it's cheaper! i'll get some photo's this weekend. the ride quality is almost the same as stock and cornering has definitely improved. now i'm waiting and saving for some new struts/shocks.
Are struts/shocks required with some Eibach's? I had Eibach's on my old '97 Prelude and it really helped the handling of the car!!

Did the springs come with a camber kit to correct any alignmant problems when you lower the car? I've been wanting get a set of springs for a long time but was afraid that it would mess with my allignment.

didn't come with it, but they do offer one. i haven't noticed any thing out of whack. it tracks well and doesn't pull to either side. there is no noticeable uncommon tire wear. i'll get the alignment checked one of these days!
I want to pick up some, but I am afraid that my wife will not drive as easy as I will. ya know, but I only want to drop it about 1" to 1 1/4 "...do you think that would be enough to where it would still role good?

go with the pro-kit if you're only want that much drop. both the sportlines and pro-kit are progressive spirings, so the ride quality isn't too much to worry about, except for wearing your struts out faster. how fast, i don't know yet.the pro-kit will probably be a better ride, but not as low. honestly, i was afraid of the samething with my wife, but she didn't notice a thing! the first time we went out after install, i was waiting for her to say something, but not a word!
You got any pics of your car yet? How much do the sportlines drop the car??

here is some info if you want the best spring on the market then you go with vogtland springs the same company that does all the springs for nascar. on an average vogtland springs are 8-10 pounds lighter then eibach springs. i know this because i am sponsered by vogtland that is what i have on my vibe it only dropped it an inch and a half. if you would like to check out my vibe go to http://www.kreraracing.com and click on events. then you will see how it looks with the drop. just thought i would give you a little info and if you want to know a vogtland dealer contact krera racing they are a vogtland dealer their number is 909-245-4353. also before i forget the ride is much improved from stock i love it it handles so great i could not believe it i was amazed.
TrickedVibeGT,Your tenacity in hyping the products of a shop that gives you crap for free is amusing, but no one is going to buy a no name spring over Eibachs. Another thing, are you talking 8-10lbs per spring?!!?!?! Are they made of shoestring?? There is NO FREAKING WAY that a spring can be 10 lbs lighter than another spring of any quality whatsoever...
