any pics....

anyone has pics of eibach sportlines on their rides? i want to see how low it is and how big is the wheel gap, preferably for the 6th gen civics, but all pics welcomed.

Here is a pic of my 99 accord ex, i'm really happy about the ride I have now, I had lowered it 4 inches on coilover and it totally sucked, these sportlines are REALLY nice.

nice ride man, so sportlines are pretty good? how much they lower? 1.8 rite? do you rub with them on those 17's? so the tokico's are a pretty good match with the sportlines? thanks

Well its a 2 inch drop and the tokicos are really good with them. The reason I got them was because the wholesaler for Eibach was also associated with Tokico, so i really didint have any other selections. Any more Q's i'd be glad to help.

you got your car aligned too rite? cause some guy i talked to try to sell me that sportline/eibach alignment kit, do i really need that or can i just get an alignment at the local wheel shop?

well i saw that on tirerack.com that the alignment kit was highly recomended but when i talked to the guy at the shop I had them put in on he said that i should leave it alone and not mess with it. and yeah they did an alignment and everything aok

I have the perfect pics for you. This is my 2000 Civic Si with before and after pics w/ Eibach Sporlines and Koni Yellows

RR: I tried to fix them but didn't work. Just copy and paste into your URL box.

FUCKING GEOCITIES!!!!

Guys, the links are correct but when you click on the link to go to the pic, it doesn't work. You guys are just going to have to copy the link, open a new window and see it there. I'm really sorry.

nice drop, not too low and not too high, that looks good, that drop is with sportlines rite? how much is the finger gap? you dont rub do you? thanks bro

take the ".jpg" off the end of the link and it works nice drop what did those cost you?

Well that drop right there is Eibach Sportlines and Koni Yellows.

How much did it cost? You guys are probably going to kill me I got a hell of a deal. I've got this friend John and hooked me up with a once in a lifetime deal of:

Sportlines - $190
Koni Yellows - $90/ea. Yes, $90/ea.,which is $360 total.
Installation - $175

Total - $725

I kind of regret it now cuz I wish I would have gotten nice coilovers like the Apexi N1 or Tanabe SS Sustec kit. That's quite alright though. I'm happy with the drop.

From the sideskirt to the ground is roughly a coke can. Finger gap is about a finger in the back and a finger or two up front. I do get a bit of rubbing due to the fact that my tires suck ass (55 on profile), so in hard cornering it rubs but other than the drop is great.

is there any possible way that you can hook me up man brice? thats hell of a deal there. if you can email me at [email protected] aite. i would appreciate it.

hey NITTANY1 your ride looks phat, i just got the sportlines for my 2001 accord sedan. i was interested in the tokico blues but i heard there not recommended for a drop of more than 1.5 inches. how are the struts holding up? any problems? how's the handling? what kind of a driver are you? you just cruize or do you sometimes race and things like that. i plan on purchasing 18's with them. also, so you don't have the alignment kit right? anyway nice ride.:frog: :D

Bruzer...man I would hook you up but there's a problem. I got em from a friend who had a friend who worked in a Wholesale Motorsports store and that's how I got the hook up. The thing is, the guy who worked at the Wholesale Motorsports store got fired and now I can't get that kind of hookups anymore. My boy John still has really good prices and shit and the guy is cool as hell. His website is http://www.krazedkustomz.com/

He doesn't have anything on it yet but there's an e-mail address and maybe and you can talk to him. I repeat, he can't get you the Koni's for $90, so don't bust his balls about it. Tell him that Brad sent you and he should give you some pretty good prices.

So far I haven't had any trouble with anything with the struts, however my left rear spring collapses and I have a new set on the way. I don’t really race that much, I like to go stoplight to stop light from time to time and just picked up an AEM CAI but haven't taken the time to put it in. I REALLY wish I would have gotten some 18s or 19s, but I wasn't thinking, but watch out for potholes though. O yeah and there isn't an alignment set, the guy who put them on said that I didn’t need it but tirerack.com strongly recommends it. so I'm not sure if I should get it, tell me what you think.

thanks brice, ill try to email him and see what deals he can get. anyways, if i do happen to put on sportlines and koni shocks for my civic, would i need a camber kit? i dont really think i would need it, but just wondering cause i dont want to buy tires every year. but thanks for everyone replying to this

Hey Nittanys1, personally i wouldn't get the alignment kit if the guy who gave you the alignment is saying it isn't necessary. just have it checked every three months and check for tire wear every month. yea i'm definatly getting 18's, possibly 19's if the money right. those are great pics of your ride, is there more of a gap in front than in the back? doesn'
t look like it in the second pic which is what i want, if so i will cut a coil in front to make it more even.

Well the back spring in calapsed so that why it look lower, the norm gap is two fingers in the front and on finger in the back. I WOULDN"T CUT YOUR SPRINGS it will mess your ride up and void your warenty. and the sicond pic was a better shot bacause it was on level ground and I was too, but the right side looks alot better because there is nothing wrong with that side. I'll try to have a pic up but my camera is dead so i dunno when i'll be able to.

what would make the spring collapes?

Bruzer...nah man, you don't really need a camber kit unless you lower your car more than 2", which on and around what that setup will drop your car. Now if you get coilovers, then I would suggest getting a camber kit. I'll let you know if there's anything going on with John.
