HateWhatownsyou, yea man you should def. go with sportlines. i was in the same situation as you, i was so pissed off i wasted all my money on the pro kit. The back end doesnt even look lowered and imo our cars don't look good with a rake caused by wheel gap, they only look good when they are raked because of tire sizes.

When you put in the sportlines leave out the isolators all around, it gives you a bad *** stance.

Just keep in mind that the sportlines will give a nice drop but drivability can become a pain, i.e. speed bumps. I have the pro-kit on my car and my x-pipe scrapes on a lot of speed bumps no matter how slow I go.

I cant go over any speed bumps w/o hitting my exhaust. I have sportlines and my exhaust sits at exactly 4 inches off the ground.

I have H&R and hate them! Crappy ride quality. and it's too low. I just posted a pic of my car on another topic.

What ever you buy, also get a CC plate. I just put a set on my car and it is night and day better than before they were on. (Also, prior they were screwing up my tire wear.)

when i had my pro kits i never scraped. maybe once or twice and with my sportlines i dont really scrap either unless i'm going into my friends apartments. I've learned to drive over things at an angle. My H pipe sits like a millimeter off the ground lmao, i dont know why it doesnt scrape, even when i go over bumps it doesnt scrape unless i start acting stupid.

I have h&r's ss springs. The main reason I bought them was for the price. 80$ used, ebay ftw. I would say if you dont want to slam it, Go with either H&r race springs or eibach pro kit. Now if you want to slam it, go with either h&r ss springs or eibach sportlines. I am not using none of my isolators anywhere. So I can honestly say it dropped it maybe a max of .5" other than the 1.6" advertisement of the springs.

My sig pic is the drop with the h&r's.

Here's a before and after pic:

Before:



After:



My x pipe scrapes on any little bump in the highway or streets.

Avoid Roadkill and Train Tracks

and word of advice......

Tien stech will drop it very nicely. They are pricey but ride great and are really good quality. I had them on my gti and would love them on my stang but im not sure how they would be with 315s out back.

Absolutely, the shop that put my Eibachs on wouldn't even install springs on a car without CC plates.
