Default What dampers for sportlines?

I just lowered my 2005 4dr accord lx with eibach sportlines and I figured that the stock dampers cannot work well with the sportlines. I'm thinking of buying the Eibach pro-kit dampers to replace all my shocks. Is this a good dampers? Anybody have any experience with this kind of setup? My car is my daily driver. I wanted to get Koni but they are 2x the price of the Eibach pro-kit. Eibach said it was design to work with the sportlines but I haven't seen anybody telling thier stories about this setup. Please help, I will buy on Monday. Thanks!

I have the Eibach pro kit springs on my car and yes they do lower your car, by about 1.5 inches all around. I paired them with a set of Tokico struts/springs and they're awesome. Besides, they're alot cheaper than the Eibach dampers.

Let me clarify that I have the Tokico "Blues" and I highly recommend them. Everyone I know uses them and recommends them as well.

They're probably not available for your car yet. It's hard to find aftermarket performance parts for late model cars. It usually takes a few years before aftermarket parts manufacturers start producing parts for late model cars. I would just keep the shocks and/or struts you have now until they blow unless you're totally disatisfied with the ride quality. Frankly, I would never have installed a set of lowering springs without also replacing the struts/shocks at the same time. It's the same amount labor and cost whether you're replacing just the springs or both.

i just installed sportlines on tokico blues and the ride is much better although many will say the blues suck and will probably blow, i wouldve gone with kyb's or illuminas but money is a factor here...
