Too low for what? Too low to get the most out of the suspension or too low to street drive? I'm sure it's difficult, but you can make the SportLines work if you really want to, however, a 1.5" drop is about as much as you want to do for handling purposes.

besides any bumps or dips being a b!tch. How does that handle on the street being that low as far as suspension travel and the rear end unloading around turns and wanting to spin out?

Im on the prokit and i cut my rear bump stops and still only have a 1/2" of rear travel.
