Default Eibach Pro Kit vs. Sportsline

Are there any cons to going with the Sportsline rather then the Pro Kit, i know the drop for the sportsline is 2" as opposed to 1.5" drop for the Pro Kit.

sportlines will require a camber kit
pro's should be fine without one

Really depends on how big your wheels are too... For example, on my Celica, I have 18" super wide body tires, so I had to get air ride, because the standard drop would make my wheels bang inside the wells whenever I hit a bump and whenever I turn obviously, I have to be careful not to be too tight, because it taps just barely, so I still have to hollow it out a little more to give me the extra needed turning capacity.... But if you are running stock tires/wheels and plan on running standard size, as long as you have a good camber kit, probably from either Progress or Eibach, then you'd be set.

The more drop you have, the more road noise you'll notice that's for sure. Also, when a rock hits your underbody, it thumps a lot harder. But the ride is really smooth on Eibach springs.... So no matter what you're golden, just keep in mind the lower you are to the ground, the more chance of underbody drag, which if you live in a bumpy area, is not a good thing and will eventually cause damage to your underbody. But other than that.... the bigger the drop, the better your car will look and feel.

koni yellows are good. they have lifetime warranty on them.

that having said, you will need the receipt in order to file any warranty claims with them. i have close to 100k on my front and over 160k on my rears. i swapped the front out once because i had extra chump change laying around.
