Default Pro-kit or Sportlines????

Hey I am tired of my 4 x 4 look on my 02 GT, so my boy owns a shop and I canget either of these for $200 installed.....Eibach pro-kit oe Eibachs sportline kit....The Pro-kit is what I wanted, but then when checking on their website they have a pic of my bodystyle and you can chose both kits on the car to look at....the sportline kit looks great but I am about to order chrome 18 inch bullets so i dunno wht it will look liek compared to the fac. 17 in. bullets.....I dont really like the ricer look I prefer the fender and tire to meet.....I guess I am just asking if any of you have either kit and what you guys think....thanks...

btw heres the link to the eibach site where you an view both kits on a GT mustang.....http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.exe...5956600028902?

How low do you want to go? If you want to go more then about an inch then get the sportlines. However, with the sportlines you'll need cc plates.

if you go with the pro kit you'll be wishing you went with the sportlines. not a lot of difference with those pro kits. i've read alot of people wishing that.

in addition to what Fruguy22 said, anything lowered drop than 1.5" will require cc plates... but the sports will definitely give u the better stance =D i've seen ppl wasting 200 bucks to get the prokit springs and then find themselves wanting sports later on and spend another 400 for those and some cc plates...

even though you will need c/c plates, get the sportlines. i got them and don't regret it whatsoever, even after almost 6 months. the car looks way better, and imo the horrible off-road look of mustangs cannot be cured by pro-kits.

you do have to look out for curbs, speed bumps and stuff though
