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.

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...
