Make sure you pick up an adjustable panhard bar because you'll NEED one with Sportlines!

Yep, I'm really wanting to see your before and afters here. I've been wondering if I should throw on another pro kit or some sportlines for the 2012/2013 I eventually pick up

sportlines for sure...

i understand the need for pro kits for people in areas with crappy roads... and wanting to retain a 'comfortable' ride as best as possible... but to me there's barely a noticeable difference... in looks anyways.

I'm on sportlines... and wish i could be slightly lower up front still.

The sportlines will give you the look you want. An adj. panhard bar is a must. With the aggressive drop like the sportlines I would highly recommend either camber bolts or cc plates to align the front tires, and an adj. UCA. The adj. UCA will help you get your pinion angle back into spec. It will drive okay without one, but it will prematurely wear out your diff seal. You will know if you need one if you have any vibrations in the drivetrain.

This is a very good point... my front end definitely had some negative camber (not intended) and it took a toll on the tires after about 20k mi.

When I lowered mine with the H&R super sports, it threw mine to about a -1.8 That's not terrible but it needed correction. You can go with camber bolts but I would highly recommend the extra $ and go with caster/camber plates. Those camber bolts will work, but are known for failing. Even on just regular street use. The cc plates are safer and offer a wider range of adjustment than the camber bolts.
