my local speed shop gave me a price on a eibach pro-kit, but in an article i read in turbo mag. it had a 2k max with 19 inch volk wheels and a SPORTLINE spring package. I would much rather go with the sportline as it lowers the car more to my satisfaction. Anyone know if they are avaliable yet or were these springs just given to turbo for thier car exclusively. Thanks.

I also tried to get the sportline springs and had the shop that I go to call about them. Eibach says that they don't even make them for the 2k maxima.....

I bought H&R springs and it lowered my car perfect. I think it was 1.5 inches. At first I also wanted the Eibach sportline springs from seeing it in the magazine and I was upset that it wasn't available for our car. I ordered the H&R anyway and decided to have a coil cut to lower it more if there was too much of a gap. When we first put on the springs it looked perfect. No need to cut any coils. I have 18's on my ride and the back sits on the wheel without any gap while the front has about a tiny 1 inch gap. It looks great!! I saw a website that rated the Eibach Pro-kit and the H&Rs. It says that Eibach is the stiffest for performance while the H&R has the best ride. I think my H&R springs are too stiff in a way. I can feel everything that goes under my wheels plus it is too stiff in a way because I do not drive my car too hard. My opinion is that you should go with the H&R for the best ride. I have heard the Pro-kit can be too hard and it will drive you nuts after a while. The Sportline kit is over doing it unless you are a racer. It would be too much of a hassle on the regular roads.

I have the Eibachs and I'm not crazy yet... Gotta love the handling through.
