Eibach Pro or Sport line

[xoldog400]

What would be a better combination with yellow koni shocks:
Eibach Proline or Sportline springs?
How low do each of them go? Which would you reccomend?
I measured with the tape from the ground/bottom of the wheel to the arch liner and it is 62cm - so how low can i go without to have any issues (tyres 195/45/16 with 2cm spacers pro wheel)

thanks!

roughly 10-15mm max on the pro springs, 25mm approx for sportline.

Very little difference between them performance wise. Either will be great with the koni's.

If you want it low(er) buy sports, if you don't, buy pros. Simple as that!

ok, so with sportlines (cca 25mm) it will be ok-no rubbing?

 

[jack_kemp]

Nope, will be absolutely fine. I have them myself.

I put sport lines on my cup last week and didn't think it lowered it at all but they do feel great and where really good on the track.

jack how are they - regarding stiffnes, bouncines? did the handling improve with this setup or not?

I had prolines on my 182, lowered it just enough...

sportlines. it shortens the arch gap slightly, more so than the prolines. the ride is slightly more bouncy but still comfortable. no rubbing at all and im currently running 205/45/16

i know it needs tyre shine, but it gives you an idea of the drop.

They're progressive so stiff enough when they need to be but without being crashy or bumpy. If it wasn't for the fact that my arch gaps are too big now I have 15's I'd happily keep them. Combined with a whiteline ARB they're all you'll ever need on the road.

Tgaz16v - they'll settle another 5-10mm mate. Don't worry

I am just about to take some pro's off my phase 1 172 to be replaced by some bilstein coilovers. They felt pretty good, not too crashy. If you fancy them let me know.

No worries, hope the AP's are good. Had them on my shopping list but opted for some Bilsteins instead.
