hotchkis springs or eibach sportline?
I was wondering if anyone knew if its worth the extra hundred bucks to get the eibach sportline springs instead of the hotchkis sport springs? The sportlines sound like they might be stiffer. I'll be using koni adjustables for the shocks.

I've read a lot of info on here about the hotchkis... does anyone have experience with the eibach sportlines? I'm not too worried with the ride quality.

Why don't we just discuss it again? Isn't that what this site is for? I guess it's easier to just bit*h and complain about how you've already talked about it.

Eibach does not publish their rates, so no idea if it's stiffer or not. Even still they are a more progressive spring than the Hotchkis.
Hotchkis is among the mildest drops out there, Sportline is one of the biggest

I have sold a lot of suspensions in my day...owned quite a few.....The hotchkis works tremendously weel with stock shocks/stuts but feel weak with stiff aftermarket ones like d-specs....if you are going Koni's get the Eibachs butt get the prokit...the drop isn't as aggressive

I don't think my Hotckis' are all that mild of a drop, at least on the fronts.
They settle after several hundred miles and will get lower than the day they were installed.
There is not more than a 1/2" gap from the top of the 245/35/19 front tires to the bottom of the wheel wells. The rear would look nicer if it was about 1/4" lower though.
I have scraped both the front and rear end on enough driveways as is. Ain't no way in hell I would go lower than I am right now on Hotchkis'.
If my front was any lower, it would look slammed IMO. LIke I said, I wouldn't mind if the back was a tad lower but I love it anyway.
