If I want to put 18" rims on my 95 GT along with new shocks and struts, should I go with the prokit or the sportlines for good clearance??

Depends on how much money you are willing to spend.

They're projectors with HID colored bulbs. Much more cost effective than going straight HID, that was on my old GT.
