Anybody have pics of eibach sportline springs/ tokico shocks on an S13?

I'm thinking about doing this soon and just curious if somebody has pics of this set up.

Thanks for the help,

Brian.

Thumbs up Jspec:

Whats the ride quality like and how is the handling compared to stock? Is this is a good drift set up and do you know what the spring rates are?

Thanks again,

Later.

I don't have them but I plan on getting them for my rx7 as well, I hear great things from everyone who has them, handling will be much better, you'll want new shocks too if your looking for ride comfort, old shocks wont be very comfy with the different spring rate(don't know the exact rate) and it can be used to drift, most people would use coilovers, but they are much more expensive and springs and shocks should do you fine

Sportline spring rates are:

Front: 137-230 lb/in
Rear: 128-200 lb/in

I've got eibach sportlines along with KYB AGX shocks on my S14 and I love the setup. I'm more into drag than drift, but they still handle wonderfully around the corners. Many of the corners here where I live that are posted (20 mph, 35 mph, 40 mph, etc...) can easily be taken at double the posted speed. Before when I had stock springs on and I tried to take these same corners way faster than posted, you could hear/feel the front tires start to break loose and slide a little bit. The car now sticks to the road way better. Like Soyo said, you can use this setup to drift. I think it was Logikal1 who posted a video not to long ago of someguy drifting an S13 on stock suspension.... If it can be done on stock suspension then it can definately be done on upgraded suspension.
