    eibach...?

    i ordered the eibach pro kit and just recieved it today.only it says it's a sportline kit,sticker on side says pro kit and the item # matches the kit i ordered.the springs look different than stock in diameter.2 look smaller,2 look bigger.i don't see how they will seat on the struts correctly like this.anybody got pics of a eibach kit uninstalled i can view to verify they are actually the correct kit for my car.

      It sounds right to me. The rear springs have a larger diameter, and they are shorter in legnth then the fronts, just like the stock springs.

        These are only the fronts. The backs are longer but I don't think they are thicker, but I could be wrong. They are considerably thicker than the stockers though.

          mine look nothing like that,they are powder coated red.the front's are larger in diameter and the rear's are smaller.the company says they are the correct springs.anyone heard/used the sportline?i guess they lower the car even more than the pro kit,maybe the pro kit was discontinued or something.

            Yes, I think you are right. I probably siad something wrong before in previous post, but the spring in front and rear are different size in length and diameter, so you sould not worry about fitment.

              The pro-kit was discontinued. It is now only available with coilovers.

                i got ripped off!!!!

                sfxperformance.com sent me a sportline kit for an acura!the box was mislabeled,had the correct item # on the sticker but it sure isn't correct.i figured this out after talking to 10 different people and being put on hold and transfered.if the prokit was discontinued then i'm really screwed ,i don't see how they can try to sell it if it no longer exsists.i emailed em back and told them they messed my order up, now i'm waiting for them to reply back.i can't belive this!235$ for a kit i can't use!i'm sorry for wasting space and everyones time asking questions.

                  It's kool man. Don't worry about it, that's what were here for. That sucks about the kit though. Get your money back and get a different kind. I'm not quite sure what other springs are good. Good luck with whatever you decide.

                    the front spring will be wider than the rear spring. the rear spring is slim and tall. the front spring is fat and short.

                    below you will see the rear and the front springs

                        so the fronts are short and rears are longer? (for hte pro kit)? i put the short ones on the front and I tightened it down and it moved around a lot in the seat :/

                            Correct. did you make sure it was lined up correctly?

                              Flat side goes down, if I remember correctly. Shorts in the front and longs in the back. The backs shouldn't have a flat side.
