I have a set of eibach sportlines. Front and Rear. Their website says 2.2 inch drop in the front and 2.1 in the rear.

how low is your 240 on 2.1 and 2.2 inch drop?

I dont have any pics of my car cuz its RIP. The car sat about an inch above the tires.

id say eibach as well, my friend has those on his car and he says he likes them

Philsnotfalling has them on his hatch, they look good now that he got his Advans. Just low enough but not crazy, and it rides pretty nice.

i got a set of cheap *** nopi brand on my s14 and i like them they set it right with 18's and don't ride bad with stock strut's

I had sportlines on my 1st 240, looked good and handling was awesome. You just doing springs or swapping out the shocks struts also? you should be ok with anything under 2" depending on how old your current setup is but an agressive drop will blow the old stockers out pretty quick (a lesson I learned the hard way)

Eibach and Tein have good reputation.

how quick did your shocks blow?

I have the Sportlines (installed by previous owner). They are nice for street driving, but when you push them, they can be unsettling bc of the progressive design. I have them on KYB-GR2's. just about any strut/shock will blow faster than normal (stocks really fast) on these bc of the drop. More than an inch of drop and the S13 240 bottoms out on it's suspension, so just keep that in mind.

what's the major difference between the sportline and proline by eibach other than the .5 inch drop difference?

The "Pro-Kit" is also a progressive rate spring with only a 1" drop. These were made specifically for street. They were designed for use with the factory suspension components. I personally think these are the best "all-around" springs unless you plan on racing. I ran both Pro-Kit and Sportline on my SE-R and I think the Pro-Kit is a much better ride. Of course you only get 1", but your bladder will thank you
