Lower stance: Eibach Sportline or H&R ??

JACK MEHOFF · January 15th, 2012, 10:56 PM

I have sold my R1 sportbike and am about to buy either a 01 Cobra or a 02 GT.. Both are stock height. I want the springs that will give it the lowest drop. Can anyone speak from experience on which one will actually drop the car lower? Maybe if you have a pic of your car so I can see how low it looks.. I see some cars are lowered but don't look that low. When I put some 18's on the car I want them to come close to fenders. Thanks

h&r will be lower and better stance. little lower in front then rear unlike eibach that is the same front and back. i would vote for h&rs. thats what i have yet to be installed. look at the customer pics on american muscle. there are plenty

Yeah i was looking at a bunch of pics and it looked like the h and r were lower.

Macunicorn · January 15th, 2012, 11:55 PM

IMO I like the feel of the H&R springs myself.

I'm running sportlines with no isos...

I'm riding on H&R's and they feel good. I wish they were a lot lower though.

Love the stance.

What shocks/struts do you have.

What's the benefit w/o isos?

Do you have to have cc plates or anything else to lower?

I8ACMRO · January 16th, 2012, 12:48 AM

H&R is 1.75 front, 1.6 rear. The Sportlines are 2.0 front and 1.8 rear. Go with the Sportlines for the most drop.

Blak GT · January 16th, 2012, 10:04 AM

My 01 has the H&R SuperSports and my moms 04 has the Sportlines. I think mine is just a bit lower even with the new isos. Here's a pic of mine and I'll find a pic of hers ASAP

New Isos front and rear

Man this makes me want to lower my car even more now! I love the look of the Stangs lowered. Stupid noob question here but if im going to lower my car with springs, do i need new shocks?

cbobruk · January 16th, 2012, 01:01 PM

Some people get away with stock springs for a while, but they get beaten. It's best just to replace both

Shaun03GT · January 16th, 2012, 01:46 PM

I want to lower mine too, but fuck getting a jack under the car already sucks. I have to pull up on a block of conctete then jack it up. Car won't go up on ramps cause itll hot the chin spoiler. I can't imagine how bad it'll suck if its lowered another 1.5-2" in the front. Pain in the Dick.

car looks nice man... post up a pic of your moms ride when you get a chance.. id like to compare the two.. But yours is sittin pretty low.. i believe that would satisfy me.. u have 17 inch rims? I am probably gonna go 18" fr500's

Torched03Mach · January 16th, 2012, 04:07 PM

H&R's...I had them on my GT and loved them...I've got sportlines on the Mach now and hate them with a passion...

Thanks man and will do! Those wheels are 18s but they look small in that pic for some reason

slonlow2000 · January 16th, 2012, 05:50 PM

Heres a pic of mine on H&R's

Way better than the upr lowering springs I had on my old 01 GT

Shaun03GT · January 16th, 2012, 07:00 PM

^^ That doesnt really look that low in the front.

pacos-stang · January 16th, 2012, 07:08 PM

H&R Race Springs there have not even settled yet.

I rub speed bumps. so I personally wouldn't go any lower.

Shaun03GT · January 16th, 2012, 07:11 PM

Someone should just put Sportline front springs on so the car has a nasty rake to it
