eibach sportline

I currently have the pro-kit and looking to upgrade to the sportline. I was told that the sport's for the 2.2 and 2.3 will fit the 3.0 is this true. Any suggestions...Thanks

I would think that the front would have a different spring rate for the 3.0. More weight to hold up??

They might fit but will not function properly since the front of the 3.0 is about 300lbs. heavier.

I think some people here have put 2.2/2.3 springs on the 3.0. I remember someone had neuspeeds on a 3.0 and Nuespeed doesn't make springs for our car. If our suspension is the same for the 94-97 accord then it should all fit since the LX/EX/v6 where all interchangeable.

As for the spring rates on the front, there should be a difference, although I don't know what the actual weight difference is between the 2.2/2.3 and the 3.0. probably not much? It wouldn't surprise me if spring manufacturers where using the same springs but labeling a different part numbers on them.

i have the sportlines on my 3.0, and all i can say is the car is f'ing LOW!


check this picture




the front end sits about a half inch lower then the pic after settling.



if you haven't driven a real low car or have short patience I definately don't recommend it on a 3.0

why not coilovers? You are going to spend roughly the same amount on springs and shocks as you would on the Teins. Just get the teins and make it easier on yourself.

technically I don't, physically I do



Also, allignent for me was a bitch to find, i finally got a place recommended to me that works on off-road vehicles, had them do the washer trick in the rear and bend my lower control arms in the front. Alignment is now perfect. But honestly, I could not find a place for the life of me that was able to get my car on their racks.
