Thinking of Eibach...

[BenadetH]

Sport or prolines but I have been told that doing this does put more stress on the shocks. Is it really worth it then? I have the cup suspension anyway but would like the car to sit a bit lower. Thoughts?

I love my sportlines. Little bit of a harsher ride but not that bad really.

Just changed mine and loving it! I didn't notice the massive ride stiffness until I just drove down a good old Devon country road!

They are good though, I'd recommended them!

barely puts any more stress on the shocks. and its not harsher at all i would say 100% better.

sportlines

 

[BenadetH]

Did you get the bolts as well to adjust the camber?

 

[Jimbo_M]

Sportlines everyday of the week...i am also lead to believe that in the case of the clio fitment between the pro's and the sportlines...the sportlines are actually a stiffer spring rate iirc

 

[Will.]

Sportlines. Also, maybe get some new OEM shocks. I got some new rears and it really made a difference. I'm going to be getting some new fronts soon as well.

Also get a rear anti roll bar. That will tighten the rear end up.

Had sportlines fitted today! Had a longish drive after and i can't fault them, defo takes corners better, comfort not too far of cup set on normal roads and no where near as crashy as i thought they would be! Plus you get that slight drop making the car look so much better! You wont get the drop with prolines.

No I didn't, I haven't had mine set up either, I fitted them myself along with new top mounts as one of mine was worn.

 

[BenadetH]

Do you not need to do anything to adjust the camber with the sportlines on?

 

[Kam.]

Sportlines are stiffer at the rear. Gives a much better ride IMO. Neither really lower enough to worry about camber

 

[BenadetH]

Woah...Kam racing price well cheaper than k-tec!!

 

[Duffman_172]

Just brought a set of sportlines this morning can't wait to get them fitted!

Only gutting thing is I brought them from Demon Tweeks at £141.99 and just clicked on the link a couple of posts back and Kam Racing are selling them for £128.74 :banghead:

 

[James28]

Cancel your order! Everyone knows Kam are cheapest for Sportlines!

Defiantly go for the sportlines buddy, I have them on my BG best mod you can do

 

[Skeeter]

Where did this whole idea of any sort of camber, spring adjustments or spacers putting enormous extra stress on suspension components come from?

 

[BenadetH]

Well I didnt think it was enormous stress...i asked someone in sales at k tec if putting the eibachs on will put extra stress on the shocks and he said it would but not that much.

 

[Danith]

I'm after dropping my cup too, but eibachs don't give a worthwhile drop I think. Apex completely ruin the ride though. Are there any springs that give the drop of apex but the ride of Eibach?

 

[Alex5]

will sportlines fit non sports too?

 

[Skeeter]

I think there are Sportlines available for non sports, yes.

Fitted my Sportlines today. Stiff car is stiff.

 

[davo172]

Do it you will not regret it for a second ! I thought same as you and after fitting avo springs to std shocks said I would never do it again !
Fitted sportlines last year cannot believe how good that are car is SO MUCH BETTER . Camber bolts no needed .

I've just fitted Sportlines to my FF. Feels great, search my username for pictures.
