Price Paid:  $235.00 from Jegs

Strengths:
"Race-car" look

Weaknesses:
Cant take passengers because it rides so badly its embarrasing. Lots of unwanted sounds, even over Flowmasters, wind noise and the radio.

Summary:
Lowered look is the only thing good about these springs. Cornering is only slightly better than stock. By far the worst ride ever at any speed on any road. Bottoms out after hitting any bump. Lots of clunking rattles and squeeking. Dont know if they work better with aftermarket struts but Im not going to find out, please dont waste your money on these.

Strengths:
Good ride, you can keep all your fillings in your teeth

Weaknesses:
half of claimed amount of lowering in the front, 2/3 in rear, tech support are pricks, expensive, given they do practically nothing for the cash.

Summary:
I installed the Sportline springs on my car and though they ride great they are nowhere near the advertised amount of lowering. They are advertised to lower this car 1.5" front and 1.4" rear, they lowerd the front 3/4 of an inch, and the rear an inch! %$&*! HALF!!?? After a call to Eibach's tech support and being treated as if I know nothing (I am a master Honda tech) was basically told that marketing screwed up, and too bad. It is too bad really, because I removed them the next day and returned them. They do ride excelent and are only slightly firmer than stock- no shooting your spine through your neck on bridge joints, if only they were honest about their ride height! I had a similar experience with Eibach springs on a '98 Avenger. If you want your car to ride firmer with little to no lowering for around $200 in parts, these are for you. I shudder to think how pissed a customer would have been, given labor is not covered by Eibach's "million mile warranty" These springs suck.

Strengths:
Great handling and quality backed by very reputable names.

Weaknesses:
Too stiff, and the rear springs were a real pain to install (took over an hour and a half just to do the rear).

Summary:
The Eibach Sportline springs combined with Tokico 5-way adjustable Illumina's provided a very stiff ride. Even on the softest settings (1), the Z ran like a go-kart. Every small bump in the road was felt and plastic parts began rattling loose all over the car. The car did handle great, I just wouldn't recommend this set-up for street use or comfort.

Strengths:
The name Eibach says it all...Great springs...especially the Pro-Kit.

Weaknesses:
Front Springs are very stiff, so it may be a little bouncy on bumps but not bad. Had to put in Neuspeed Race for even drop. Must buy premium shocks.

Summary:
Confortable ride and Evenly dropped. I put together Eibach Sportline and Tokico Blues Shocks... I read reviews saying that the front is higher than the back, so I tried to install Neuspeed Race Spring in the back and keep the Eibach in front. The overall result was a perfectly leveled and stable car.

Strengths:
-Comfort -Agressive stance

Weaknesses:
-Need to purchase shocks/struts for its full performance

Summary:
I don't understand why these springs get low reviews, because I think that they are excellent for daily driving and track use. Not only is the ride comfortable, it gave my car an agressive stance that I was looking for. Best advice I can give to whom are interested in purchasing these springs, "purchase shocks/struts with it too". I installed my springs with KYB AGX, and it gave my ride the comfort that I was hoping for.
