Eibach Pro Kit or Sportline Kit for 08 Lancer GTS?

I was looking at tirerack.com to read the customers pros and cons about both kits and the sportline got really bad reviews from 99% of the customers. The Pro Kit got good very good reviews. It's not a big drop but for me I have to get springs that will give me a comfortable ride for long trips on the highway and everyday trips around the city and to go work.

 

Do you get snow at all where you are? If so I would say save up and get coilovers that way you can raise the car back up when it snows. That is what I am gonna do, we get hit pretty bad sometimes here in the northeast. If not the go with the lower drop, it will give a cleaner look for ya. Good luck.

 

Im going with the Pro Kit...reason being here in PR streets suck...put them too low and ill be leaving my front bumper everywhere...I was thinking on getting the Tein springs but those drop a 1.8 front and 1.4 rear...its just too much...good luck..

 

Check out the pictures on my car... i have the Eibach pro kit. For me it rides real smooth... and its pretty low

 

Sportline is lower and that's what I'm getting soon.

 

I think Eibach should release something in between... Pro-kit doesn't lower enough, and Sportline is too low and harsh.

That's why I am getting H&R, right in the middle with 1.4" front, 1.3" back.

 

Yes we certainly do get hammered here in the Northeast. I was thinking about getting some coilovers for my ride for the same weather related reason. Who sells coilovers for our cars?

 

Right now its only Megan racing that I know of. However TEIN is supposedly working on a couple sets of coilovers for our cars. Who knows when they will be done though. Where in the northeast are you? I am in CT.

 

I'm in Albany, NY.

 

Yeah you definitely get hit with snow, a bit more than here, but we get our share.

 

I go through your town quite often and I know exactly what you're talking about. During the winter the roads in Upstate NY, and probably the greater North East, turn into nightmares. I'd like to lower my car but just for that reason I'm thinking coilovers or nothing at all.

 

tell me when you put those springs... because i don`t want to put something that later i will take away of my car...
the streets of rio piedras sucks!!!!

 

If you want to see what a lancer looks like with a pro kit installed, check out my progress page. Ill be taking better pictures soon when i get my kit installed.

nice bro...
how much did you paid for those springs???
heyyy i love those rims!!!

 

Ill check my receipt to know exactly what i paid, but i bought them at the shop i do my work at , so i didnt need to ship it and they installed em for me

 

did you made your car alignment before you put the springs or you didn`t need it??

 

Well... i didnt need it... and after i installed em, it didnt seem liek i needed to do an alignment... its always better to do it after tho, someplaces dont put em on that great.

 

The sportline kit seems to be discontinued. I just contacted my dealerships supplier and they said the sportline kit is discontinued... That kinda sux because it just came out lol. Im gonna try a few other suppliers and see what they have to say.
