I love the pro kit, I still have the stock shocks and this thing handles awesome with just the springs. The ride is a little bit more rough but I actually like it better than the stock ride. Stock ride feels too soft.
I need to get the lower control arm relocation brackets because I dont think my back tires are getting enough traction on launches but after that I think I will net a better time in the 1/4.
It lowered it a LOT, when I first got my tires there was a huge gap in the front. As you can see now, there is hardly a gap at all.
I also never scrape on anything. Just make sure you take speed bumps slow, go down those really steep driveways a little at an angle and dont pull up to parking blocks and you will be fine.

i dont have any pics up but i am running sportlines and 18x9's with 245's and i dont rub whatsoever, if your looking to really reduce for fender well gap sportlines do that well without shellin out the money for coilovers. and the ride is awesome i love it
