Sportline Options

[drumbum]

Anyone have any complaints on the eibach sportline spring set?

Ive been reading reviews from many websites many on different cars about always bottoming out on speed bumps, and trying to avoid bumpy roads. I like the look of the sportlines but does anyone on here that has them notice a bad ride quality or any problems for everyday use??

Also is kyb gr2 front and rear struts my best bet or are there other choices because on one review the guy said he blew those at about 10,000 miles with the sportlines???

many people on here have this setup, so i was wondering if this would be a good purchase for my car for lowering it. And of the people that have this setup how many miles have you run on them without any problems?

Thanks

NICE! Looks like it should settle a bit more, but that looks great. How's the handling difference?

And the camber on both wheels looks fine. I'm not sure if you could tell, but the rear wheel (on mine at least) tilts just a small, small bit, and I'm at stock height with the same wheels. I assume those are the stock Scion center caps? I'm still trying to find some decent Toyota center caps.

Looks great though, now I'm just that more anxious to get mine on. I think my bump stops and everything else are still fine, I guess I'll see.

The handling is great. It feels so much tighter, but like I said before all my struts were gone. I've got over 200k and I think they might have been the original struts. Adding new sway bars would make it even more responsive, that will be next on the list. I need a new half shaft and/or wheel bearing on the passenger side first though. Now that I don't have all the rattles from the suspension I'm hearing some of the other things I need fixing.

The ride height really isn't much lower than what the car was originally. Putting the scion rims on raised the car up a lot. I haven't scrapped anything yet and I've gone over some good size speed bumps.

The tire shop said the camber was within spec. I'm at -1.2 on the left and -1.7 on the right. They say that the range is -0.4 to -1.9.

Those caps have the toyota logo on them. The guy I bought them from worked at a Toyota dalership. I think he said they came off an Avalone but I think the Camry and some other cars used the same caps. Search on eBay. Just measure to make sure you get the right diameter.
