I thought I'd post some pics of my GT PP lowered on Eibach Sportlines, partly because I don't see as many pics of them with stock PP wheels as I do Steeda springs and Pro Kits. For those that are on the fence about them, I would HIGHLY recommend them! I had a set of Steeda Ultralites on previously, but I wasn't satisfied with the drop, as it still looked quite a bit higher in the front. I also prefer the ride of the Sportlines over the Ultralites, as well.

The before and after pics were taken on different days, so the lighting is quite a bit different, and I had to adjust the "after" picture in order for the wheels and tires not to be totally enveloped in shadow. It still isn't great, but you can get an idea of how the drop looks. Hope this helps!

Very nice ride, all you need now is 1" spacer unless you're going aftermarket wheels. My Ingot GT PP is on the way.

I really like the way these PP wheels look when lowered and spaced out 1"

I may pick up a set of spacers just to be able to have a different look every now and then.

Do the spacers affect alignment/camber? I have the same setup with GT PP wheels and sportlines.

Thanks for the compliments! I got the springs from CJ Pony Parts; I've always been very satisfied with their service, speed, and price, and the one time I actually had to return something, it was a breeze. Plus, there's free shipping and they get you hooked with their RPM Club, so you start saving extra on parts. I also appreciate all of Bill's installation videos.

As far as the performance of the Sportlines go, I love them so far! I did install a BMR front sway bar (the rear is back ordered) at the same time, however, so I can't really comment on the springs alone. Once i put the previous springs on (Steeda Ultralites), I felt like I could notice the body roll more after putting springs on, so I figured I'd add the sway bars. I was a little worried that the Sportlines would be a bit too harsh, but I actually like the ride better than the Ultralites that I had on previously (as well as the stock springs). I'll be tracking the car in early October, so that will be the true test. The ride definitely feels more buttoned down and composed. It is more firm, for sure, but definitely not punishing. My car is not a DD, but I would have no problem using it as one. I think the ride is great, honestly-I seriously could not be happier with the Sportlines!

One other thing I liked about the Sportlines is that Eibach provides all the specs for them regarding spring rate, drop, and alignment. I believe I found them on Late Model Resoration's website. I can partly understand why some manufacturers keep this a secret, but as a consumer, I want to know what I'm buying.

I hope this helps!

Looks good. My girl's car has the sportlines, and I've got Steeda's progressive springs. After taking her car on a 'spirited drive' yesterday, I like my Steedas more. The springs are just too aggressive for track/spirited use IMO.

But they look phenomenal :D

oh and tint them windows! :)

Thanks! The windows are tinted, but I had to mess with the contrast and shadows in order to make out the wheels and tires in the picture because the lighting was so bright, so it makes it less apparent. It's only 35%, though, which kinda sucks, but we have to pass inspection here, and I had issues with my last car which had 15% on the sides, and 5% on the back.

She looks great man! I love it!

I ran Sportlines on my previous Coyote and loved the drop they gave.

What's next on the build list?
