    Each Eibach spring will have the Eibach logo and numbers listed on the springs. I just installed the SPortlines and all four had the logo / name across the springs about miday.

    Sorry, I never checked the numbers on the springs against those on the box. BTW... Here are some pictures of the Sportlines installed. Took them a few minutes ago!

    Eibach pro-kit springs are diamond black and sportline springs are red. The spring #'s on them are different than the box. The box # is the KIT #. And the logo should be on all 4 springs.

    Basic difference: pro-kit springs are about a15-25% increase in spring rate than your stock & sportline is about a 35-45% spring rate increase, it is a little bit stiffer than the pro-kit. With the sportline it's more of an aggressive drop. You are closer to the ground so you'll feel more of the ground. Get performance shocks if you have the sportline. It will help.
