eibach pro-kit vs. sportline

by **hari-bhari** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 1:39 pm

eibach has two lines of springs. pro-kit is supposed to lower between 1.0-1.5 inchs, and sportline is supposed to lower 1.7-2.3 inches. does anyone have the sportline kit? will it lower too much?

DUDE! They don't make Sportlines for Solara! Just Pro-kits. Research...

I was talking to Jack at Fast Track about lowering our cars, and he explained to me why lowering Camry/Solaras more than 1.5 in is bad. He said that for us 1.5 should be the limit.

Most struts can only handle a 2" drop.

Tokico will not honor the warranty if you use a spring with a drop <2.0"

by **groovespacer** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 6:29 pm

1.4/1.7 F/R

Yep more then 1.5 will void Tokico warranty. I remember reading that part. Hence why I got the Vogtlands 1.5" also made by Tokico.

I would have gotten the Teins.

Hari, I had my car right next to Rene's and his is a tad bit lower and he got the Tein/Tokico set up.

From tokicos website:

Q. How low can I go?
A. The amount a vehicle can be safely lowered varies by make and model. Cars can generally be lowered by 1 or 2 inches. Some trucks can be lowered by as much as 6 inches. Excessive lowering can and does cause a number of problems. Suspension was designed to allow the tires to move independently from the chassis. If too much travel is removed due to excess lowering, or springs that are too stiff, problems can range from a harsh ride to actual damage to vehicle components.

Some of the problems include:

1. Harsh ride with poor adhesion
2. Excess wear on CV or U-joints
3. Poor alignment
4. Shock failure
5. Stress cracks in the chassis or suspension
6. Excess noise and rattles in the chassis
7. A dangerous lack of control on rough roads
