Eibach sportline/pro for non-sport model

Good evening to all,

Im trying to decide whether to install eibach sportline or pro along with bilstein b8 shocks. Searched for a similar thread for non-sport models(mine is a mk2 1.6) with no luck. If its discussed already, i would be grateful for someone to point out.
My car is stock with 180k kms, and i observe some negative rake(lower at the back). I don't know if this is factory design or due to fatigued springs etc. I appreciate any opinion/experience, and if someone has pictures with the said combination of suspension or at least springs, please post it.

Thanks in advance!

Go with proline (black), sportline will be unnecessarily harsh/stiff for a standard Clio.

Thanks for the reply!
Just two questions:
Is it overkill the bilstein b8 or should i consider Koni Street(orange)?
After installing the coils, it will continue to be lower at the back or it will become even front-rear?

What are your aims with this? Wouldn’t stock shocks be more than up for the job with some prolines as mentioned above?

Honestly? I can tolerate little more firm ride, oem is pretty nice too. But as far as i know going lowering springs, installing shocks for lowering is a must. B8 are better quality and built specifically for lowering, Konis can work with lowering, oem shocks not for lowering. Am i right or missing something?

If you intend on keeping the car for a while then yes getting shocks suited to the lowering springs is a good idea, if not, then no as it’ll be quite expensive to buy all that equipment new. I’d just fit springs as long as the standard shocks aren’t shot.

In terms of lowering even if you choose sportline it still won’t sit low low, there’ll still be some arch gap. Maybe look for coilovers if you’re looking for very little arch gap and you’re willing to invest in the car.

To answer your earlier question, whatever option you install the ride height front to rear will even out.

Stock shocks work fine with sportlines if you want it lower. The bilstein shocks will be better though.

I intend to keep it as my second car, but i mostly drive this as i think🤔.
So i will go lower, proline probably, and i think I'll give it a go for the bilsteins.
You guys are very helpful and i truly appreciate all your answers!!!
