So I'm going to do the Eibach Sportline and KYB strut/shock combo suspension upgrade in my 91 RS. I know LCA relocation brackets are a need after but not immediate for general driving. I also am running the stock 15x7" wheels with 215/65/15's up front and 245/60/15's in the rear(gives tire diameters of 26" and 26.4" respectively). Questions are:

1) Has anyone with a similar tire height run into any tire clearance problems other than at full lock?

2) Seems pretty obvious with such a drop that an adjustable panhard bar is an immediate need(I'm also wondering how my 3" catback is going to clear over the panhard bar with the drop)???

3) Is there anyone out there thats run both the Pro and Sportline kits and if so what's your take on the two of them comparably?

4) Is there anything else other than bushings and/or ball joints I should change while doing this suspension work?

 

sportlines are for looks but can't compare to the handling and overall ride quality of the pro-kit. you should have properly valved strut/shocks for the kit as well as the other necessary pieces.

relocating lca's is a good idea but check to see if your car really needs it. you will need a adjustable panhard bar. get a 2 way and make it easier on yourself. their are other things on the front end that will need to be changed as well.

overall for lowered stance the sportlines definately will be noticeable. you will just comprimise ride quality and spend at least two times the amount to make it ride the proper way. sometimes you have to sacrifice for the looks though.

good luck.
