What's the spring rate for that application, what does eibach suggest to pair them up with?

Im running sportlines and koni adjustables (yellows) on my 240, I havent put them on yet but my 240 shop suggested them as a daily driver if I didnt want to go coilovers. Most of the guys have them up there as well if that helps any.

sportlines will give you an extremely low drop which could get you in trouble with atlanta roads... i've never messed with a 3kgt but you'll probably also require camber adjustments

the springs will only be as good as the shocks/struts you mate them with. Koni Yellows being the cream of the crop imo.. next KYB AGX, or Tokico Blues... if possible GAB shocks from Japan are butttterr

while eibach makes great products i've never been a fan of their sport line springs... for alot of apps they tend to be not stiff enough for the drop the provide... IMO there's probably springs w/ better specs out there. But this might be entirely diff for your car. shocks will make or break a car, so get good ones.

i had sportlines and i loved them. get them but get a good shock. if you plan on doing and track/ hard driving get adjustable ones. kyb, koni, tokico are all good and if i am not mistaken tokico just came out with a new line of adj shock , they are the blacks
