Eibach ProKit or Sportline??? - The Ford Focus Forum

**FierceRacerAz** · 12-15-2008, 12:21 PM

I can't decide which one!!! So what do you guys think?

**gizmo88** · 12-15-2008, 12:56 PM

If it needs to be lowered soon, I would buy the Eibach kit. If you're thinking about getting into some auto sport, I would wait until H&R, Koni, or KYB release their '08 shocks.

**FierceRacerAz** · 12-15-2008, 08:40 PM

Nah i'm not doing auto sport or anything, just riding on the street. Just can't decide if i should get the eibach sportline or pro-kit.

**thisdude_05** · 12-15-2008, 10:33 PM

Well how low do you want to go? Pro-kit will get you 1.5" lower and the Sportlines will get you 2" lower.

I have the Pro-kit on mine.

**The Lost Focus** · 12-16-2008, 12:11 AM

another vote for the pro kit, they give a very nice ride too, not harsh at all

**Snake Eyes XIII** · 12-16-2008, 03:34 AM

Zoiks! Are those nineteens?!?

sportlines for the win cant go wrong with them. nice height and ride to much gap with the prokit unless you like that, heres mine

**f2focus** · 12-20-2008, 03:48 AM

I see that you have an 08 Focus...well you might want to get the sportlines unless you plan on doing a body kit, than you might want to go with the pro kit....

**kipp** · 12-21-2008, 01:34 AM

I"ve got the H&R springs on my 09 with stock dampers (for now) and i love them. ride great, huge improvement in handling and look awesome

**frdfocszx3** · 12-21-2008, 10:18 AM

At first I had the pro-kit on my car, but I wanted lower. So, I went and got the sportlines. Big difference. I'm selling my car soon, going back to stock parts. Sportline springs will be up for sale in the near future.

**jrgtrain** · 12-21-2008, 11:36 AM

I have sportlines. I do not have any rubbing issues. I am also running SACHS dampers. More firm than stock but nothing harsh at all. I get alot of compliments on the stance.

**thisdude_05** · 12-21-2008, 11:22 PM

^^^ nice car

hey jrg what kind of roof rack is that?

**jrgtrain** · 10-16-2009, 08:07 PM

The rack that came with the car. I think it is a Monte Blanc brand but people on the sites refer to it as the "Kona" roof rack because it came with the Kona package. BAT.inc sells a rack with the same design but it is silver. People don't want the silver one but it doesn't take much to paint it black since the black plastic covers come off.

Mine on Sportlines

**rogers865** · 10-16-2009, 10:45 PM

I love the look and ride height on the sportlines. Handling is awesome, but I haven't driven any other setups. The only down side on mine is whoever put the springs on kept the factory dampeners. As long as you do the whole kit, I think you would like it.

**ST2K5** · 10-18-2009, 12:14 PM

I recently got a 2" drop (H&R springs/Eibach dampers) and have received several compliments about its new aggressive stance. I just need to slow down a little now when I go over bigger bumps but have No rubbing at all. I personally love the one finger gap look and have no regrets at all.

**svt3d** · 10-18-2009, 02:26 PM

I have sportlines and I am not a huge fan! My brother has the pro kit and I the springs feel much better....

**Ja-Red** · 10-18-2009, 04:56 PM

I wouldn't Do the sportlines. They are too soft to be that low. I have the pro kit but since I have taken a little weight out of mine I feel like it is a little to high now. If you want to go lower than the pro-kit go with H&R race springs instead.

**Ja-Red** · 10-18-2009, 05:17 PM

stupid refresh button

**Iceman2.0** · 10-18-2009, 08:25 PM

Heres mine with sportlines the springs are great however I recomend going with adjustable dampers as opposed to what comes in the kit. I know focus sport has the adjustable ones and I've ridden in a foc with sportlines and the adjustable dampers. I currently have SVT dmpers and their not bad but you can tell the diffrenece.

**KwikKar** · 10-22-2009, 10:21 AM

Hello . I have installed the Eibach Pro Springs and shock/struts on my 01 . It doesn't seem like it dropped as much as some of the vehicles I have seen on FJ with the same setup ( Like This one ) . I only have about 20 miles on them now though . Will they settle more ?

They won't settle anymore.

What wheels are tires do you have? The car you posted looks like it has at least 18", maybe 19" wheels. That lessens the fender gap.
