Eibach pro or sport?
Can anyone tell me why you would get the sport vs the pro kit other then it lowers abour .5 more then the pro? Ijust got my new 20" Wheels and wrapped in 255/35/20 and they look sweet. The front is almost fine stock but the back is alittle high. I am planning on the pro kit and don't expect to have any trouble bottoming out but would appreciate any feedback. thanks!

get the pro, sportline youll bottom out on speed bumps for sure, becareful with the pro kit, analize the speed bump well in advanced.. some tend to be pointier at the tip than others, and you will scrape your exhaust, no real damage maybe done, but it will sure sound like it and youll cringe over it :P other than that enojoy

Pro if you insist on Eibach. I did Eibach Pro; after doing the rear and looking at the stance I said no way I'm dropping the front (pic below is with full tank of gas), I would suggest rear only as I did, to correct Ford's miscue on the rear tire to wheelwell spacing. I see no reason to lower the front and stiffen an already stiff car. You can save a few bucks and just get rears only; I forget what mfg sell rears only, but easy to check on that. I think Ford Racing, Rousch, ther are others; that would be the way to go IMO.

I've got the sports with my stock 17" wheels. (for now) I'm going to go to an 18" wheel sometime. I like the sport but if you're going with 20" wheels, you'd be better off with the pro kit. Sports with 20" wheels will be rough ride. You may even think about only lowering the rear end and leave the front alone.

I used the Eibach pro kit and love it. I am careful over the bumps and dips cause you just never know what will happen if you hit it just right. I think the sportline looks good but will make it too low imo.

RE: Eibach pro or sport?
Im not sure the reasoning on the rears only, in all the pics i see, there is a huge gap between fender and tire in the front, , and when the rear sits lower it looks out of wack, the stance of the car should always be a little higher in the rear, i just dont get it, it doesnt look right, or am i missing something.
