I have both.

I have canuks on my DD and Eibachs on my Vert.

The Canucks sag a little while the eibachs near perfectly level off.

I have 205/55/16's and they rub ever so lightly in the back on big bumps with 2 or more in the car with the cannucks. They actually rub on the sidewall. The eibachs don't rub, but I'm also using third gen wheels on the vert, while aftermarket on the dd.

If you can find them (I don't really think your going to) The eibachs are better. The canucks are a good spring, but I can out handle with the eibachs on my vert, but that might just be a residual effect from the 3400 or yoko vs hanook tires.

There is no such thing as an Eibach Sportline spring for a 2nd gens. They only ever made the ProKit, which is leaps and bounds better than the Sportline. As mentioned, you are going to have a lot of difficulty finding the Eibachs, since they've been discontinued for 5 or so years now. The Canucks are known to be good quality and are probably your best bet.

Just get whatever springs u can get for these cars. There all junk to mediocre quality anyway. If the front doesn't lower as much as the rear. Take a coil or so out. Should solve the issue

ok yea i have had no luck finding eibachs, i had eibachs on my white 88 and loved them but wasnt sure what eibachs they wer or how much it was lowered because they were on it when i bought it

right now im probably getting canucks

does any other company make springs for our cars? canucks seem decent i just dont want it to sit lower in the rear i hate that

Intrax and springtech I see on ebay. I would just go with the canucks. They have good reviews. I bought a second set last week. They are $200 shipped to your do which is cheaper then any other brand and have a life time anti-sag/ failure warranty.

do canucks sit level or lower in the rear? i want an even stance... not racked.

The amount any of these springs will lower the car is in the FAQ.

I just put Canucks on my car about 2 weeks ago and I love them! Yes it is a stiffer ride but in all honesty, it handles about the same it did when the car was stock ride height.

Hardly, our cars are notorious for ass sag. The pic above may make it look like it sits lower in the rear but also keep in mind the front tires stick out more than the back on our cars as well. If you look at the rockers, it sits pretty much level front and back.

I personally tried to find a set of the Ebach's with no luck. Vender support for our generation Cavi's is dwindling to nothing so I would say if you want to lower it, get what you can. The Canuks are pretty nice for the money. Honestly, I got the 1.7/1.6 set and it dropped the car more then I was expecting. I'm running 19's on the vert so I have to be careful on spacing. What I ended up doing in my case was going with the Canuks front and rear and I also have Gabriel hijackers in the back to help out. I mated that to an AirLift load controller inside the car so I have a pressure gauge and onboard compressor and can adjust my ride height in the rear with the touch of a button

. Here’s what the stance is like in my case.
215/35/19's in the front with 235/35/19's in the rear. Here are some pics before and after...Oh and honestly - I love the ride. Its sporty but does not require a kidney belt to drive...LOL

thats sick after the drop, but HOLLY HELL BEFORE! i woulda got a nose bleed riding that high!

and yea never thought of air shocks to lift it a bit in the rear, i think im just gona get canucks and if it sits to low in the rear ill use air shocks to level it
