I'm pretty sure it all depends on how much you want to lower your car. Pro lowers the front and the back 1.4" and sportline lowers the front 1.7" and the back 2.3", I personally prefer the sportline, but then again I dont like the rear end of my car 2 1/2" higher than the front.

Actually, its about wether or not you want just lowering, or actual performance springs. The Sportlines are only for lowering, hence the lower drop. The ProKit is a progressive rate spring made for performance rather than lowering.

Wouldn't say one of the other is better. They are both great, quality springs. It all depends on what you want to do with your car.

Unfortunately we're all driving grocery getters so this point is invalid...

Get whichever ones you like the looks of better, and that you think you can handle on your roads without problems.

It's to even out the wheelgap. Our cars come with a large positive rake from the factory, so the rear is a lot higher than the front. The eibachs make an even amount of wheelgap front and back.

the bouncing in the rear would not be because of the springs. you need struts to handle the springs, stock ones do not work. you need either Konis or D-specs.


Ill make a sig someday

according to eibach, both the prokit and sportline are progressive springs

Yes, both are.

And yes, bouncing is all about the struts. Springs bounce. Struts control them.
