Eibach: Sportline or Pro-kit?

RAGEman · December 5th, 2007, 11:55 PM

I just picked up a set of Sportlines from a friend but haven't installed them just yet. How do they look and perform? Ride quality over stock?

rk_2000_Z/28 · December 6th, 2007, 12:08 AM

I've got Sprotlines and they are loooowww, but I think they look great.

If all you are doing is a direct swap of the springs, than the ride quality will get a little worse.

when I bought my car it came with sportlines, and the ride quality is awful; it feels like Im in a giant pogo stick with wheels, and I have to go over speed bumps sideways. I have a full steeda suspension waiting to go in now.

dcrow · December 6th, 2007, 12:30 AM

i have sportline's also and i love them.

blk01gt · December 6th, 2007, 12:43 AM

I love the way sportlines look. sorry to be off topic but product1620 I have two fieros both 88's I just thought that was cool to see someone else with one.

Thats awesome, my 87 was my first car, but the 2.8 through a rod through the oil pan, I was planning a motor swap, but I bought the stang and lost motivation, so its been sitting ever since, I haven't decided what to do with it. Nice to see someone else into fieros too.

haha When i bought my mustang I lost interest in both of mine until recently I have one of them running again and the other one is the swap car.

product1620 · December 6th, 2007, 12:55 AM

What are you swaping in? L67?

blk01gt · December 6th, 2007, 01:06 AM

probably a 3800 series 3 s/c I already found on that i can get engine trans computer and wiring.

product1620 · December 6th, 2007, 01:10 AM

that will murder your stang when its finnished.

blk01gt · December 6th, 2007, 01:14 AM

thats the plan, I want the fiero to be the sleeper/dd and make the mustang a track monster.

product1620 · December 6th, 2007, 01:24 AM

ahh gotcha, a lightly modded series 2 is an easy 12 sec car, Id say with a little money in a series 3 you can hit 11's. Got any pics of the fieros?

Bigmac · December 6th, 2007, 04:48 AM

Go with the sportlines

GTsetGO · December 6th, 2007, 05:38 AM

i have the prokit on my car and love the ride quality. smoother and goes around corners much easier.

you will need to get CC plates if you plan on putting those sportlines in.

Why? The camber and caster should be fully adjustable after the pop-rivet is removed right? I used to work at an alignment shop, and I never had to use one on these cars.

daveaz · December 6th, 2007, 07:06 AM

What about adjustable coilovers? pricey, but well worth it IMO

The problem was your shocks, not the springs. I installed Sportlines on my daughters 01 V6 with the stock shocks and it too had an awful ride. I put some KYBs on it and it was like a new car.

Here's how my 04 GT sits with Sportlines...

RAGEman · December 6th, 2007, 09:36 PM

So, will I need CC plates or not? I know the strut mounts are slotted for adjustment from the factory. I wouldn't think it would need them.
