Im thinking of going with Eibach Sportline Springs any one have pics with these springs insalled??? I was thinking of going with h&r sports but its not low enough. And coilovers are expensive lol

SSTLS408

you wont' be disappointed with the sportlines - definitely the best drop for springs and the ride is pretty damn good. But it's an aggressive drop so u ready to have people looking at you with admiration? haha

optomos

You can't go wrong with eibach. Just wish they made coilovers for our cars.

I'm assuming you have a TL-S so if so there are no Eibach Sport Lines, at least according to Eibach's website. They only offer the Eibach Pro Kit. The Eibach Pro Kit has a pretty decent drop 2.1" in the front and 1.6" in the rear. If you need a set let me know or look here

SSTLS408

true, but you can use the Sportlines for the CLs on the TLs, that's what i did.

brado

you have any pics?

optomos

The pro kit will be a better match for our cars IMO because of the lower rear we already have. The pro kit is 2.1F & 1.6R while the sport is 2.0 all around.

SSTLS408

no, the sportline has a drop of around 3F and 2.6R. I have a set of dem, sportline has a real low, tucking, drop.

optomos

I don't see it under the application guide on eibach site. I was going by the sportline for the accord.

SSTLS408

i think you'll get the correct specs if you looked at the CL-S 03 application regarding the sportlines.

If you scroll down and click on the sportlines they have them for the tls

optomos

Don't see it bro. All I see for the CL/TL is the pro kit.

scroll down and click on Eibach Sportline Springs and look at teh apps for it, it says 02-03 tls

optomos

I went to the application area and it only shows pro kit. It does show a sport kit for a 03 RSX, Honda, Prelude EIB-4-5440.

CL Platano

There is no Sportline kit for the 02-03 TLS, just Pro-Kit .

does anyone have pics with the pro kit inalled?? i just want to see how it sits.

CL Platano

look under the member demolitionx he has the pro-kit installed..either do a search under his name or pro-kit and you'll see pics. Its a good comfortable drop

SSTLS408

yeah, there's no sportline application for the TL-S. But there is one for the CL-S. I have a both the prokit (tl) and the sportline (cl)

brado

i believe the sportline is taken from the accord application because there is no application on the eibach website for the TL/CL. the app on autocarparts.com does have it listed under TL/CL but it is really for the accord. so for the accord, it is 2.0 all around, but for the TL/CL which are 3-400 pounds more heavy, it is a 3+ inch drop on front and a 2+ on the back.

I've definitely seen pics of the sportlines installed. It may not be marketed direcetly for TLs, but they have an app for the 6th Gen v6 Accords which is compatible with the TL.

just call eibach directly, they are wicked helpfull and then all your questions will be answered. There are sportlines for our tls, but the only part number i could find now was for the Eibach Sport-System Kit , part number 4.4140.780. Its probably taken from the accord application like a member mentioned above, but just call them and ask them about that kit and see what they say and if you can get a part number for just the springs

CL-S6

Not low enough.... lol

After the springs settled in:

Drivewire claims to have both Sportline and Pro kits for the TL-S.

TophsTLs

Trust me dude, after the Pro Kit settles it rides pretty low. Here mine is with 18's and the ProKit after it settled.





Can't go wrong with this setup!

CrazyBabyDoc

I wonder if there's a difference between the Pro-Kit and Pro-Kit Plus? The Eibach tech just told me the car can be aligned immediately and doesn't need to settle.

c0v3rr1d3

iTrader: (4)

pro-kit is just springs.. Pro-System kit is springs and shocks. Then theres the pro-system plus kit that is springs, shocks, front and rear sway bars.

CrazyBabyDoc

What I meant is that the Pro-kit has a drop of 2.1/1.6 but I've heard it said that they require time to settle and someone even said it drops more than that.

The Eibach tech claimed that the Pro-System did not require time to settle. In fact, he implied that Pro-kit springs alone don't need time to settle.

I misspoke in mentioning the Plus since the sways should have no effect whatsoever.

brado

the eibachs for sure settle some more after you install them. the day you install till 4 or 5 months later they settle quite a bit. eibach tells you they don't need to settle because they are trying to imply that their springs won't change on ya. they do though because i had to get a second alignment about a year down the road because they settled more than the first alignment at 3 months.

heres a before and after my eibach prokit. sat nicely... but i wanted something more.

joe80055

Would the Pro-kit provide an even drop all around with the '99? I'm tired of the H-Techs giving me an uneven drop, the rear's lower and the front's still got the 3 finger gap.

CrazyBabyDoc

My local shop says that's not a function of the springs. He says that's a function of the OEM rubber bushing(?). In essence, the previous setup is molded somewhat by the previous spring set so it takes some amount of time (or driving) to get the new springs to settle into the rubber. My shop gave an estimate of 100-200 miles.

So Eibach could be correct in that the spring doesn't change with time.

stRodda

iTrader: (1)

most likely not. any springs ive had on either of my cars always resulted in an uneven looking drop. the car might be lowered evenly, but cause of the shape of the fenders, or something like that... it looks uneven. that too really bothered me, which was one of the reasons i went with coilovers.

joe80055

okay, coilovers are the way to go then.. I'll definitely look into a few sets on ebay By any chance, with the coilovers, when you're riding really low, do your front wheels ever run against the fender while turning over a nasty bump? Just want to make sure I have an idea of what I'm in store for.

stRodda

iTrader: (1)

yea, sometimes it happens. not very bad though... just enough to rub the plastic fender lining. usually only if i have the wheel turned all the way and im going over a bump or down a driveway. other than that, i only rub when i take a real hard turn and the rears hit. i just havent had a chance to grind down the tabs all the way. but if you have stock wheels, you wont have a clearance issue at all. its just that im running 225/45's on a 18x7.5+48 wheel.
