Also sport line is lowers - 1.6" (F) / 2.0" (R)
Prokit lowers the front 1.3" and the rear 1.4"

pro-kit all the way
with the sportline you have to make sure you have specail parts cause alot of the strut shocks can't handle that low and the stock ones won't last.
You might also need stuff like baljoints to get it right
With my car lowered I am already concerned about scraping with the sportline I am sure I would scrape.

just depends on what style you like,i like a low ride,but ...i got the pro kit so i would not scrape,for me the pro kit is not low enough.i probably should have got sportlines but im adding a street scene kit soon so we will see what it looks like then.i like my tires to be tucked into the fender with no gap,the pro kit does not do this,you still have gap,i may switch to sportlines once i see what happens with the SS kit.

If you haven't already done so, before you buy anything you should go over to the the Handling Section and read. Here is a very long thread with lots of info: https://mustangforums.com/m_934501/tm.htm

One thing to note with Eibach Prospring kit - you will almost certainly want to get new shocks and struts with it - according to F1fan the Eibach springs will wear out the stock struts and shocks in under a year.

Note that the addition of shocks and struts ups the price considerably, depending on which brand you go with.
