Eibach Pro-kit lowered EF

I am thinking of lowering my EF and I wanna do it just a bit to elimitate that gap above the tires..

prokit lowers 1.2 inch front and 1.0 rear

that sounds alright.. but what would the car look like?? has anyone ever seen a prokit lowered EF (90 hb).. what does it look like??


I want to drive my car in the winter too.. and I dont want it too low.. I was also thinking about getting TEIN 1.6 inch front and rear.. would that be lowering it too much for winter conditions??


I would appriciate some feedback on this..


thanx!

i know its not the same but i drive a ek sedan and i dropped it 2inches and drive it in the winter 1.2 is next to nothing i would go with the sportlines for some reason, which i dont get, the sportlines are cheaper and they also give a bigger drop and a stiffer spring? sounds backwards to me but all the more reason to go with the sportlines

sportlines on a ef is real low...1.5 is all I'd go on a ef...H&r sports is a nice drop...I knwo on the crx's it looks prety good with a pro kit but I only saw if once and dont' have a picture so I'm jsut going by my memory..get soem tokico blues to go with those springs

go with the prokit. It will give you better ride and less cambler wear on your tires.

I had the sportline installed and switched to the prokit. I was bumping fenders, scraping and the ride was a bit stiff. Put some KYB AGX shocks and the prokit and it rides beautifully. Looks quite nice too.

thanx guys.. I've already got two GR2s in the front installed 4 mths ago.. it would be a waste to take them off and switch to tokico for example.. although I will probably be puttin tokico blues on the back with pro-kit.. I wanna achieve a ride that's comfortrable and attractive.. and I think this could be the mix

thanx again

I had Neuspeed Race (2.25") springs on my EF, wasn't low enough... i don't think a pro-kit drop would even be noticable

wow buddy...sure ya had the race version? I had the sports on my black Si and they were plenty low enough I couldnt imagine the race not being low enough...as it is the sportlines are about as low as anybody should possibly go in a EF...I scrape my resonator as it is
