Default Eibach Sportlines

So comparing the Eibach sportlines to the pro kit, is that pretty much the same as the difference between the H&R Sports and SS? (reffering to drop, and other characteristics?)

Anyone know anyone that has the sportlines? Reason I ask is I may have a damn good deal on a brand new set. If the deal goes through the guy has another 3 sets as well to sell, so if he accepts my bid (auction ended but he had a "best offer" bid) I will let everyone know the link.

BTW: the price will be $165 shipped. and like I said they are brand new in the box!!!

You sir, have my attention
someone answer his damn question so i can pay him lol
I was going to go with the ford C springs like i did with my last pony... but the shocks were already destroyed in that car. My older brother won't let me get lowering springs unless i change my shocks c/c plates etc. apparently he got the steeda springs for his car and blew a shock, (his vert weighs more afterall) and now he thinks i should get all the stuff he got after he blew it, before i blow one.

is that all you have done? your car looks like it has the perfect stance...
40k miles, no new shocks or anything? sounds nice sir
EDIT: i think it would be interesting if i tried a skid-pad, before and after... i have an accelerometer that measures g's laterally... so i will have fun whenever i buy springs...

yep no new shocks or anything. and i was driving on texas roads for most of those 40000 miles, and those roads suck. but i definitely recommend them.

OK, so the guy denied my bid for $165, he came back with $165 + $35 shipping.

Ghoststalker, if you are "100% have the money now will buy" I will email the guy again and see if he will go 2 sets at $165 (I will ship you yours at my actual cost, which would be pretty cheap because I will use my work account to ship them)

I believe that a drop of 2in or lower requires cc plates and/or shocks and struts.

When i first got my springs on i got my car aligned. And i was worried about getting my car on a lift cuz back when i had my 04 si and i lowered it they had to take off my front bumper just so it could get on a lift. but my stang dosent have that problem.

The kit for our (GT) model doesn't fit your year, we have model #4.1035. For yours you need model #3518.140 (they only offer pro-kit not sportlines for your car, but that's only about a .2-.3" difference). I will email the guy and see if he can get yours and get us a 3 order package deal.

go to this site and scrool down to the bottom where they show the spirtlines, and look under model. they say 94-04 v6 in there, but under the year it just says 96-04. so will they fit his 95 http://www.rpmoutlet.com/musv8eibach.htm

Your stance looks awesome. I thought you already had an aftermarket suspension set up.

I see what you are talking about. I guess they would fit???????


If anyone else is interested let me know. I don't know exactly how many sets he has, but if we order enough I'm sure we can get a good deal!

from what that site says, it looks like they should fit. I also looked at stangsuspension.com, and it said 94-04 v6 and v8 for sportlines
