I put sportlines on my cup around a month and a half ago. They are quality, worth every penny imo! they are my 4th set of eibach springs...i wont buy any other make. They dont lower much at all or compromise the ride comfort but sharpen up the turn in and the feel of the steering.

Fitting tomorrow! Will report back. I'm going to measure before and after to see what the actual drop is!

If she doesnt want it any lower get Prolines

Just get sportlines.

It will be lower and it will crash more over pot holes, but will roll less. If the car is not used for it's performance, then leave it standard I'd say. Misses hates mine with Sportlines as it can actually be painful over the worst bumps/holes for her.

that's not the case with mine (and the general consensus on here) i found them a "slightly" firmer ride over a standard cup, very slight drop , but they also raise the rear a tiny bit which evens out the stance of the car (based on original cup suspension) = decent brand and good price from kam racing

My Sportlines actually improved the ride over the standard Trophy Eibachs.

OPs is not a cup though - standard 182. Mine dropped circa 30mm all round but the ride is deffinately harder. Crashes a lot more at low speed (hence the misses complaing lol) but way better at 'high' speed. Corners a lot flatter. This is with Sportlines btw.

Fitted 2 nights ago.... What do I win?!

Ride is better than on my cup packed springs although the drivers side front was snapped in a bad way!! Comfortable over bumps (although haven't tackled any B country lanes yet) and firmer in the corners. Lower... but not by a lot.
