172/182s on Eibach Sportlines *pics wanted*

[Mike.Beardmore]

Can anyone oblige with the above, want to gauge the true drop they give. Thanks!!

 

[Brown.]

just save ya self the bother and get apex -40mm.......trust me

 

[Mike.Beardmore]

Lol!! Have just been persuaded away from apex because of the poor handling!!

 

[Justin182]

lol... talk about spanner in the works. He just had a huge thread about the 2 and guess he would prefer a better ride over drop. They are about 30 mm mate... ive only got a diaganol pic... not side on sorry.

here ya go

Don't do Apex ffs unless you like show and no go - trust someone who has experience!

I've gone back to Eibach Pro's. Ok the car sits higher than the sportlines but boy does she handle again.

 

[Mike.Beardmore]

Yeh thanks for all the advice Justin182, you just can't win though...lol

lol, yeah, guess there will always be 2 sides to the argument.

 

[Justin182]

Im off to M&S for some diner now so if i can find a good bit of light, ill take a pic... bit dirty though lol

 

[Mike.Beardmore]

^^ Cheers, just want an idea of how low they actually look.

 

[Justin182]

Right, ive got 2 pic mate, but I think they are rubbish quality being at night & on phone etc... ill post them up in a sec

 

[Justin182]

Not the best pics in the world but hope it helps.

 

[Mike.Beardmore]

Yeh mate helps a lot, seems to be a good comprimise, looks low too! They are sportlines then right?

 

[Justin182]

Yep, Eibach Sportlines.

 

[Mike.Beardmore]

Nice one mate, really appreciated! Will get some ordered, look nearly as good as apex but feel more confident in their handling capabilities!

Agreed matey!!

Apex are gash no end!!

I've driven both my sportline'd 182 back to back with Ali's apex's 172 and the difference was like night and day!!

 

[Bubbles]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mine should be with me tomorrow and i cant wait to feel the difference

Mine currently lowered on Apex:

Theres a difference... especially on the back - but not toooo much!

 

[Graham Gooch]

Jesus christ Amie, how low is that rear! looks too low imo.

 

[Bubbles]

I know... and that was a while ago! Apex wasnt sagging back then (taken in July i guess?)

40mm on the back is quite alot.. but its just too harsh on the bumps

Another... again looking low on the back:

If you drive nice motorways/A roads every day then the Apex will be fine and look great

But i drive shite bumpy pothole filled B roads - and its nasty

 

[Graham Gooch]

If the back was proportional to your front that would look really smart.

I want sunny weather.
