It would lower it a tad bit more but not very much. I would just keep them on, my prokit looks pretty dang good and I don't scrape on anything.

you'll be wishing you went lower and that pro kit's not enough of a drop to require cc plates

until you have to go over your first speed bump or ****ty driveway and bottom out and have to listen to your car scraping. [:@]

Dude 18x9 are for your front. You need 18x10.5 for the rear. Trust me that you will totally regret not getting th 18.10.5 when you see the fender space that is left.

I agree to go with the sportline kit. The pro kit leaves to much gap; especially with 18" wheels. You will want to get C/C plates and shocks and strusts too. If the suspension is getting torn for the springs get the shocks and struts done as well. Less on the garage charges.
