Eibach sportline

Looking at these, anyone familiar with them for the Z, wanted to know about clearance issues, modifications or shaving of parts, or having to replace control arms. They drop from 1.4” -2”, my main concern is performance and not looks. Any advice is helpful

I think Sportlines might be too much towards looks vs performance. I have their Pro Kit an that’s 1.2/F 1.2/R

I show the Sportlines as discontinued. 2" drop would be extreme on this car. Your car on ProKits looks great!

Exactly it would look a bit too "stance-like" and eat up a ton of suspension travel.

Thanks, doesn’t seem like they have the sport line for the Z. Do you have less bounce when accelerating/braking or turning? Was it a simple install

My Nismo springs were slightly firmer but these springs do not disappoint in acceleration, braking, handling. I had a shop do the install.

I put the pro kit on mine as a 35 year lover of eibach springs. Ride is better and the look is perfect IMHO. Also installed 265/35/19 and 305/30/20 kumho s tires which are amazing by the way but they run a little skinny.
Car is night and day better but in fairness the Dunlop’s were hard and starting to weather crack despite only being 2 years old.

What is your wheel setup. I seen you have 20s on the rear. Curious about this setup. Thanks

My mistake as I meant to put 19 not 20 as they’re the stock Nismo wheels.

I put Ohlins and dropped about a 1” had to go the route with front upper control arms sway bar links, rear camber arms and socks toe bolts

Dang, how do some people need parts with a 1” drop and some don’t, is it the shops pushing for it(up sell). I’ll call a shop by me and see. Just don’t want to order parts, do half an install and either need to abandon, or have to order more stuff and redo the install later. Anyone know of any other options

Agreed. Why did the ohlins require "front upper control arms sway bar links, rear camber arms and socks toe bolts"???
