Eibach Springs

Hey Guys,

Quick Question, actually, two quick questions. First one, Should I get the Eibach sportline kit or the drag launch kit? I do like the lowered appearence (and probably am going with that one) but is the drag launch worth it? Second question, I want to get new wheels soon and have been looking at some. Since I have 16 inch tires I want to stay 16 with the wheel also and I don't like Irocs. So, I was thinking about getting mine polished chrome. So, basically my question is, how much? And who? Thanx guys.

Jeremy

Depends on how you do or will do most of your driving. Make that decision, then the choice of springs will follow naturally.

Hey, Thanx for your reply.

Well, I drive the car as a daily driving vehical. I don't race on a daily basis but I do race often and I always speed. So should I go ahead and get sportline? Would Drag Launch be really only for track runs? And are they as good as they sound?

Yeah, then I'd go ahead and go for the Sportlines if you drive the car daily on the street. You never know when a quick swerve will mean the difference between getting out of a scrape with only an adrenaline rush, or getting some serious damage to person and property, and those mushy draglaunch springs will be that difference. At least that's my take on it.

What about Eibach's pro-kit. I don't want to upset the handling/suspension by going too low but I think it could use an inch on the front and back...that's why I think the Eibach Pro kit is the best choice for a daily driven (summer only) car. Our cars are low enough already - wouldn't the sportline's cause scarping problems?
