some sweet lookin rides in here!
daily driver on sportlines here, but if you don't have alternate transportation for snow days, I wouldn't recommend them. as far as comfort, no, they do not provide a comfortable ride, but that's the trade-off for good looks and performance.

i'm running h&r super sports and i love em. daily the car and all that. I upgraded to roush dampers too, but i would recommend better dampers, because the rear end is underdampened. I also installed steeda HD mounts and adjustable panhard on my car and am running 1.6 deg negative camber up front. getting my wheels put on in the next two weeks so i should be sitting right soon. also considering cutting a dead coil from the front springs to bring the front end down a tad.

no, they're not that much different. if you were ok with the pro's, you won't mind the sportlines, especially when taking the improved look into consideration. I went from frpp's (basically pro's) to sportlines and have no regrets at all.

Will Sportlines have plenty of clearance with LT's?? I don't know but I'm about to find out in a couple weeks. I am hoping that the poly motor mounts will help raise the engine/headers up enough to provide clearance.

i run the pro kit and couldn't be happier. i have ARH longtubes and have had them scrape a couple times going over speedbumps. i think you'll be happy with the pro kit. i thought of sportlines at first but i think it would be too much of a drop for what i wanted (mix of street/strip).

@mikeys gt--- i might steal your car its sooo sick haha. yea the pro-kit seemed like a good drop on my old car, and i wasnt running longtubes just shortys so i dont really know how much clearance i will have with MAC longtubes so im kind of sketchy about goin lower. But i may be gettin the pro-kit from a member on here for a good price so if that follows through ill be doin them again.
