Notice that RICVA05 has almost no ground clearance to speak of. I'm sporting the Prokit w/ 18" wheels.

I have had no issue yet with scraping bottom except when the person doing my gears tried to drive it on a car rack . Scraped some then.

RICVA05 I have 3 questions for you or anyone with the Sportline...
1. How much does an install cost?
2. Is it a bouncy ride?
3. Is launching from a dead stop better, worse, or the same?

Thanks

Here is a pic of mine...



1. How much does an install cost? Not sure... I installed them myself. Easily done by renting a spring compressor from a local auto store.
2. Is it a bouncy ride? The ride is a little firmer but not to harsh. A little bouncey when going over successive pits and valleys as you might encounter on a long bridge.
3. Is launching from a dead stop better, worse, or the same? Definitely launches tighter than stack. Corners better and look heella better.

1. I can't remember the exact cost for the sportlines but me and a friend installed them.It can get expensive if you by the adjustable panhard rod,upper panhard support,Tokico D-Spec 16 way ajustable shocks which are about $650.

2.It drives great since the purchase of the Tokico D-Specs and boy it can take some corners now.

3. It launched good before. But even better since the Tokico's they even tell you how you should adjust the shocks for drag racing or road racing.

4. Damn I sound like a Tokico rep.

GT Premi, How about a side view of yours? RICVA05 Looks awe some, I'm afraid of getting toooo low. I am trying to see the difference between your and his... I WANT that look. Everytime a see a great looking redfire I have second thoughts about my choice of colors. I made the choice based on what shows dirt/dust the least.
