How much lower are the sportlines really? Anyone have pics of either setup with stock wheels and tires? I want the sportlines but have had other cars that were too low and was pissed everytime the nose dragged going in and out of places. My vette was so low, under hard braking it would drag the nose on level pavement. I dont want that, but lower than the FRPP springs would be nice only if it will not destroy the front splitter. Any pics?
Eibach prokit or sportlines?

I have the pro kit. Don't know if i would go any lower
All the info you need in here:

As far as braking hard, your fron splitter won't hit, you will have to take bumps and dips in the driveways slow as not to rub. Also would recommend some tokico d-specs at a minimum to make it ride nice.

Why do you say that?
Friends don't let friends buy Eibachs ;-)
You know there are so many different makers of lowering springs out there, but I figured that Eibach is the only one that specializes in suspension parts so maybe their stuff would be better?
Wow, this topic is quite quite popular!
I am debating the same thing, but I am trying to compile info on the 2010, not sure how much different the springs will set on a 10 model. The problem I have with the appearance of the sportlines is they apparently all be flatten the car out, as in totally remove the rake. IMHO these cars need a little rake. To me i think the perfect appearance setup would be the sportline fronts and pro kit rears, but I am sure mixing spring rates would be disatrous from a ride/ handling standpoint.

Im sure it would. And what you dont want is what I do want. I want the car to be flat. I just dont want it to scrape on everything like my last vette and I want the ride quality good but I dont want the car to wallow in the turns like it does now.
Trust me, sportlines and tokico d-specs, set the d-specs 4 1/2 turns loose and it will ride just like stock. Ford springs just didn't have enough drop for me, sportlines fixed that for me.
because the stock shocks weren't setup to handle that low an that harsh of a spring. so it will ride like crap an wear out the shocks in like 10k miles
Anyone got pics of Eibach Pro KIt? I think I am going FRPP..as I like that drop...I had ProKit on my 04..and that was nice. No offense to anyone but, I think the sportlines are to low....just my personal opinion...
If I can see Pro Kit...pics that would be nice...

i loved the prokit on my 03 cobra, handled an ride was great. but i decided to go with the FRPP handling pack since ford actually made a kit that worked great for the car.
i have the pro kit too, i do not like it. coupled with the 20's i feel like i am riding inside of a basketball at times. fixing to say screw it and going with a coil over griggs set up
They have been notorious for making a poor quality product "in the past", sagging has occured in on several of my friends mustangs
But doesn't mean what they are producing now isn't better.
Personally IMO H&Rs make the best springs.
Having their coilovers put on my GT500 vert this weekend. :burnout:
No problem man. PMing you now.
Here's my prokit.
