Eibach Sportlines or Cooksports ???

[chris13]

I am going to change my suspension next week with standard dampers and new springs. I have owned a new cup back in 05 and loved the standard set up but always wanted a slight drop and taughter set up, but dont want anything too harsh. I know Eibachs are good and offer a subtle drop and have read reviews on cooksports which all seem positive. They seem to offer abetter visual drop which is neither here or there for me. I just wanted any feedback from anyone who has experieneced either, or both so I can make the decision. Spoke to someone who said cooksports are not a progressive spring?

Cheers

I had the Sportlines on my 172 and loved them. Nice subtle drop in height and a really nice ride. When pushing on down a B road they reduced body roll a good bit over standard.

Very happy with my Cooksports but Ive never used Eibach.

I've had all 3 (Cooksport, Apex and Sportlines) and even coilovers.. Cooksports are by far the best.. Cheap, good lows, good ride comfort and awesome handling on and off track.. I'm sure Josh will have a more technical explanation for them being progressive..

 

[Cooksport]

Our springs are a progressive spring mate.

Thanks
Josh

So what is the actual difference between eibach and cooksports?

 

[chris13]

Cheers guys. I will be after ordering some tomorrow. Is there still a group buy? What would cost be with P & P?

I was thinking of the cooksports but wanted to be sure from feedback on here. Mind made up. Cheers

Cooksport have the lows of Apex with the ride quality of Sportlines or maybe even better.. Best of both worlds..

 

[chris13]

Sounds just what im after. Cheers Luke. Ride qualitynfirst and foremost. Looks a bonus

 

[Luke.]

No probs mate..

 

[Cooksport]

So what is the actual difference between eibach and cooksports?

Many things, the material, spring rates, the method used to wind the spring.

All of which contribute to the characteristics of the spring.

Thanks

Ive got eibach pros and the ride is good mind u the drop aint great on the pros i'd say the cooksports are the best value and there really highly rated

So are sportlines mate

 

[cliokid182]

Cooksport have the lows of Apex with the ride quality of Sportlines or maybe even better.. Best of both worlds..

I heard from alot of people on here that they give the same drop as the eibach sportlines??

 

[Djw John]

I really rate my sportlines, combined with fresh dampers the handling is superb, combined with konis it's even better. Never used cooksports yet but some of the opinions in here make them sound like their next trick is to feed the starving and water the thirsty.

Anyone local to you got some you could go for a ride with. I know I'd be happy to take someone a quick spin in mine for similar reasons. I'd also really quite like a shot of cooksports so I can compare and contrast but I won't be buying some just for that, will just bide my time and see what happens.

I tried sportlines on my old phase 1 as i wanted a nice drop with a good ride quality. Shortly after i bought coilovers lol, they didnt seem to drop the car atall.

 

[davo172]

Sportlines are the BEST springs I have ever had on any of my cars by a mile !! and have tried a lot of different sorts cant comment on cooksports as not tried them but the only way I can see them being better is price , Would by sportlines again without hesitation on my next car .

 

[Tony Hunter]

So are sportlines mate

Maybe, but that was never the question was it.

 

[Chris205]

Hoping to try some of these cooksports on my car soon

 

[chris13]

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I will report back once I have fitted everything (shocks, top mounts & springs). Cheers

Thats the trouble with hearsay, a load of it is bull.. If you look on some threads you'll be able to see.. Also my mate went from Eibachs to Cooksports and instantly it was already much lower before they had even settled..

 

[imprezaworks]

They sit lower than sportlines
