Default Sportlines vs pro kit vs H&R

Will someone posts some pictures of the sportlines and H&R's? so i can see the difference between that and the pro-kit on my old car. Also how are these on a daily driver? anything else NEEDED besides panhard rod? my tire set-up is 255/45 285/40 will i get any problems with rubbing going lower than the pro-kit thanks. PLEASE POST PICTURES.

Just go with the sportlines, I dont think you'll be satisfied going from the prokit to the H&R's prolly wont see that much of a difference. You shouldnt have any rubbing issues either. And yes you'll want an Adj. panhard rod

Upper Control Arm, Ebiach front and rear sway bar, and J&M CC plates.. NO rubbing at all just needed to get allignment done and that was it !

@ deekum - my sig is of the old car which got totaled and couldnt get the pro-kit off. so im throwing up goin lower just gotta see some pictures.

@paydirt- arent the sportlines and H&R almost idenical in drops or am i wrong?

@whyask- thats the stance i want! imo the pro-kit doesnt look like it drops the rear enough for the 40 series tire. You may have just made up my mind.

Keep em comin people.

I have the H&R on my daily driver and it looks really good with 18's. I do tend to get some scrapping on some drive ways and a few speed bump but you know what I wouldn't switch them out. I will try to put a picture up once I get out of work.

My car on Sportlines.

Like the drop, but since a drunk driver hit me I'm not trying to put any more stress on my back.. I'm switching to a pro kit this week. Still love the look of sportline though!

A good dip in the road on those sportlines and BAMMO! off the stops. Better invest in some adjustable dampers and set them on extra hard . They're low and soft. You have to be hard-core to run those on a daily driver IMO.

haha. The stance of the two cars is exactly what i want to achieve but may have to sacrifice looks considering mines a daily driver. plus wont be able to really get anything else suspension wise besides the springs and adj pnhrd because i want to put most of my money towards performance. just want to have an aggressive look as well.
