I want to put the "Sportline" springs on my stang, but its my daily driver. Are they too low too drive with day to day or should I just go with the "Pro-Kit"?

As your daily driver you might run into some clearance problems with the Sportlines... Especially if you have a body kit as well...

I know with the Pro-Kit I have bottomed out before on speed bumps no matter how slow i went over it... does happen often like maybe 1 in every 50 speed bumps depending on their size ill slightly scrape the bottom...
I also sometimes scrape the bottom front fender sometimes if im going up a steep driveway...

So with the sportlines you will probably run into a few more of those

I have run Sportlines foralmost2years they seemed to have settled a little lower over time I did not have any issues till I switched to a 1 piece drive shaft under hard acceleration it would rub from time to time so I switched the rear springs to a 1-1/2" drop and installed the factory bump stops back. Personally knowing what I know now would havegone to the pro-kit instead.

I have the pro kit on front and rear. They are aslow asI would what to go esp. since I am runninga CDCagressive splitter in the front. It rubes on steep driveways but not to bad on speed bumps. I would not want to go any lower. They are quite stiff also. But they corner great.

Since the rear needs to be dropped more, if you get Sportlines and want to run ProKit in front I'll sell new pair ProKitfronts cheap.

I've been running the pro-kit for 7-8 months now and the only time I've ever bottomed out was backing into a very steep driveway.

Its a little difficult over ramps and inclines becuse our wheelbase is pretty long but it just needs a little getting used to. And it looks awesome. Pro kit kicks up your rear abit giving it a more raked look. Good luck whatever the rout.

I have the Pro Kit and the car is a daily driver on the streets of Los Angeles so far no problems with speed bumps or driveways and it does handel alot better when you get on it hard the front does not come up real high like the stock springs or dip the front when braking hard, hope this helps.
