I got a question, I'm thinking of getting suspension and i am really looking toward kyb agxs but dont know what eibach springs to get. I heard the sportline is good but i dont want to drop my car too much. The most i wanna spend is like 700-750 tops and i really dont go cheap on my baby but i like these shocks but i dont know how the PRO KITS RIDE. Ive seen the sportline on the 240 coupe but never riden in it so if any one can post some pix that would be nice and maybe any good places to get these shocks b/c I find the Tire Rack not that bad on prices and i might order from them next month or so. Thanx alot and ill keep you updated if my decision changes but just help me out.

Prokits drop only 1" at most, and for S13's, thats not a lot. But I'm satisfied.

I recently installed Kyb's with Sportlines and it's great. A little bit stiffer ride than I'm used to with stock but it handles like nothing else I've driven. Here's a pick of the front wheel well with the Sportlines. The rear is a tiny bit lower it seems. http://images.cardomain.com/me...l.jpg

matchstyc that really doesnt look too much lower than my AGX/Pro-Kit setup...



But I LOVE the ride and looks of my setup, the AGXes can make the car feel stock for rougher roads, or you can tighten em up till you're stiff like crazy. I dont know how much the springs add to the "ride" of the car, but for what it's worth they feel very nice.

i went with prokits because i didnt want to drop it too much and bottom out on all the horrable roads here. cornering is sooooo much better over stock springs!!! either way you will not be dissapointed.

go with sportlines only if you have good roads, and a performance reason to be so low.

i actually have the koni/sportline setup. bought it from modacar a while back. it rides nice to me! i gotta admit though...it settled pretty low. but our roads out here in nor-cal, for the most part, are pretty nice. some of the speedbumps though...not too friendly! either way...beats the stock setup! =)

prokit gives nicely stiffer ride (slightly), but if your aim is to lower your car, at all, it won't really. Mine lowered .75" in the rear (common result) and only 0.5" in the front!

Also, What's the deal with the suspension FAQ? Are stock front springs actually stiffer than the Eibach prokit. My prokit's feel stiffer. Could be the agx that came along with them though.
