Default Eibach Sportline's Installed! Review!
Hello all! Got the Eibach Sportlines and finally installed them last Friday. Installation was a breeze, bump stops were cut just above one notch off from the bottom.

I installed them the night before my drift event at Willow so we got to drive the CRZ a good amount of miles and get a good feel. Freeway driving is nice and smooth yet noticeably stiffer. The progressive rates really do well for street driving paired with the stock struts. Also the struts have yet to bottom out and SoCal peeps know how bad the 10 FWY is LOL All in all the car handles great compared to stock and the drop is perfect. Sorry I only have one picture of the car for now. If you guys want more Ill take some, but till now this is it till the wheels go on. Oh also I have 15mm spacers all the way around.



Thanks to Tony from Eibach for everything!

sportlines are supposed to be 1.5" drop before settling.

eh, I should have measured before and after, but I was in a rush to get to Willow LOL

But comparing the picture to Pro Kit pictures it is about .5" lower. Im trying to upload a couple more pictures, but imageshack is being dumb right now

Finally worked. Couple pictures of test fitting the wheels. The drop isn't crazy, but I feel its just right and the most you can safely drop with the stock struts.

Are those Weds? 17s?
Looks really good - however, it seems like you may have been able to go a little lower on the tire profile?
