Eibach Sportlines

[MikeyK18]

i just recieved my eibach sportlines this morning, on the box it says approx 50mm lower

i thot sportlines would drop it 30mm?

 

[Mark One]

eh, 50mm is not right. they should be 30. Never had a set myself yet (although planning on it).

 

[Owen]

Yer, ignore what is says on the box....

They lowered my non-cup packed 182 about 30mm ish. Deffo nowhere near 50mm!

Same ones mate, mine said -50mm on the box too!

 

[DebV6]

Only dropped my 182 by about 30mm

 

[24Seven]

they drop 50mm on a non sport asfaik but only 30 or so on a sport model

How can they drop a non sport 50mm and a sport 30mm ??
Is it because a standard non sport already sits higher than a sport ?

Spot on mate, RS have lower springs as std

 

[Android]

So if i bought these springs for my Dynamique id surely get a 50mm drop then ?

 

[Rob22]

Yup

If you put them on a cup it'll lower the front, but sit slightly higher than standard at rear.

Odd.

Im unsure of wether to buy these.
Supposedly im going to get a 50mm drop because its not a renault sport model, but how can i trust this ?

 

[Mark One]

ideally I want a -35mm from eibach, not the apex -40mm or the claimed "30mm" sportlines. Im going for sportlines tho

Only you can make that decision mate

 

[Android]

i dont want to make the wrong one though. haha.
if anyone has a non sport model lowered on a set of these, id love to see them. I want a 60 drop but the guy at the garage says NO CHANCE on standard shocks and that il scrape things like sppedbumps.

 

[Nick_P]

have you tried looking in the sticky thread regarding suspension, mines on sportlines.

I had Eibach pro's fitted under my 172. They gave me no drop in hight at all! The RS or Cup versions are already factory lowered by default. I had Apex fitted under my previous 1.6 (1999) and was pleased with them, so I also went for Apex for my 172 (2002). Apex has a special spring set for the 2.0 RS. To get a little more drop with Eibach, the Sport lines are often used. However you will never reach the same drop as with Apex. For a drop of 1 cm with Eibach springs I would stick to the original ones. To lower the RS Apex is the first choice. They give you a real additional drop of 25mm on top of the factory 20mm drop.
