Mixed reviews

the kind of things you expect from a cheapo spring set

If you plan to keep the car, invest in some name brand stuff.

If you are on a budget, check out canuck springs. They are local, and have generally good reviews. Go visit their store on ebay, it's cheaper than their website.

make sure you specify the v6 version, unless you are doing a v8 swap with it

message them, you can pickup locally so you either don't have to pay shipping or only have to pay a handling fee

i'm stoked on my sportlines. I wish I knew about Canuck springs tho, it would be cool to support local businesses.

sportlines to be honest have made every car i've seen them on ride like a fucking ragged battle tank on real-world roads, but i guess that's a good thing when your car is that low

its not too harsh of a ride. I was reading (on TGO) that they suck when you use them with the stock struts/shocks and ride better with better valved aftermarket struts/shocks. The car is pretty damn low tho, there are certain streets I have to avoid because i will get stuck on the speed bumps.

I don't know... I'm not sure what kind of springs I had but they were 2'' drop springs

and the car rode like shit with koni yellows

I mean shit as it my back hurts after driving over rough surfaces lol

It handled great though, no "bobbing" what so ever, the suspension movement was so well controlled

sportlines is a rough ride,

just go slow on rough roads, if the road is rough enough for your car to be banging around you should be going slow with smooth soft suspension,

I'm happy with mine, just got to avoid road construction, or just creep around,

I got bone stock shocks and struts, and it rides not that bad,
got to remember how much suspension travel you just got rid of by installing sportlines

and you have to cut your bumpstops,
you literally are 1/2" off the stops with sportlines
