I think im going to kill my shocks soon because they don't work well anymore...Is it true that the sport line is not design to work with the stock shocks??

Very true.

A drop over 2" will kill the shocks quickly, mine were toast within 10,000 kms.

Well, any drop under 2" will hurt your shocks..I don't really think you can hide from it. If you change your spring you change your shocks...that's what im going to do.

The Eibach shocks were designed to go with the Prokit or Sportline springs.

I have them, and they're a nice combination.

is that all u have the shocks and one of the kits?
supension wise

I have Sportline springs, Eibach Prodamper shocks/struts, strut bar, SVT rear sway bar & urethane bushings. This setup handles very nicely! It puts a lot of other vehicles to shame for cornering.

The Eibach prodampers usually go for around $329 US.

so u would need the dampers as well u have the whole kit but that is 1300 dolla

Any lowering of the car, you should use the equivalent dampers or dampers designed to be used for your new stance, spring rate, etc.

Even with the Eibach Pros which isn't as dramatic a drop as the Sportlines you shouldn't use the stock dampers. Currently I am running the stock dampers still cause it was literally impossible to get the Eibach Pro Dampers last year (massive backorder) and after about 10 months, my ride quality has diminished but it's not horrible. I can imagine on a lower drop, it would be even more diminished.

There are no Eibach Sportline dampers, the Pro Dampers are used for both lowering springs (Pros and the Sportlines).

ah ok, didn't know that.

I changed my dampers and springs the same day, and I only dropped it an inch. It's uber comfortable. I don't think there's any point in doing springs without doing dampers. It's just more work in the end. Do both at the same time, and boom you're done.
