Does anyone have the eibach sportline springs that lower by 50mm? Just have a few questions to ask about them!

why not just include the spring type in the title? you would get a lot more help that way.
 
Will pm one of the above mods :) Would anyone know if these springs should have 'Eibach' stamped on them? I got a set and it has 'sportline' stamped on them. The reason i'm asking is someone has the same springs as me but his hasn't given the 50mm drop, was more or less a stock ride height.
 
The Sportline springs don't have the Eibach logo stamped on them. Just "sportline" and the part number.

Great thanks! Other Eibach springs I have seen have the Eibach logo so was just wondering what the deal with that was.
 
A friend of mine haad these on his EK4, it looked like it hand't been lowered at all.
 
I have them on right now and they gave me the 1.8'' drop that they were supposed to !! yours didnt ?

Mine will be fitted next week but don't want to be dissapointed when I fit them! Was told by someone who has the same set up as me (Eibach sportlines on ek9 shocks) that he didn't get the right drop, looked more or less near stock ride height! Can I ask where you bought yours? pm me if you want:)
 
The drop on the EK9 chassis will most likely be different as these were tested and measured on the base model civics.

So it could be due to using ek9 shocks on an ek4/3 that the sportlines are not giving the correct 50mm drop or any drop at all?

The ek9 shocks shouldn't effect the drop. The only way I could think of the EK4 not seeing the correct drop would be if the lower control arms were removed and torqued back down without preloading the suspension. Or, they had the wrong springs installed.

i have the eibach pro kit on standard ek9 shocks, and it lowers the front 45mm and the rear by 35mm, the sportlines should drop it by 50mm np mate
 
Hope they do thanks for the help guys. I'll just have to get them fitted and see how much they drop the car by. I just hope they drop ok as the mechanics charge quite a bit to change shocks and springs and moneys tight atm, would be gutted if I have to take them off again.

The front has 195/45/15's and the back has 195/55/15. Not sure how much the gap is. but I wish it was lower on the front .
 
I would have thought with 50mm drop you would have almost no arch gap. Front looks less than a 50mm drop. I should've gone for coilovers!
