#21550, "upgrading my suspension."


          

Im planning on getting the sportline eibach and the tokico illuminas, what do you guys think about that combo? Because these coilovers and stock ass shocks aint cutting it. And how much of a drop can I get from the sportline eibach, Im looking for a dump.

The sportlines are definately a huge drop, the problem that most people state that have them is that they are pretty soft. But if you're getting illuminas, I guess you could always go stiffer on the shock to balance that out.

You may not be too worried about having a soft ride, except when you hit a mild bump and bottom out from the bouncyness.

would tokico be the right way to go with these sportlines?

I had sportlines before I switched to prokits...I ended up with close to a two inch drop...and the ride quality sucked. If you want a decent drop and a decent ride, prokit springs are the way to go. Tokicos are a good shock to go with too:thumbsup

Sportlines arn't for everybody.

I have Sportlines w/ Tokico Illumina's (set to 4 on the front, 5 on the back) and it handles wonderfully. Plus, the low profile keeps it glued to the ground at high speed.
