I disagree. I had the Prokit on my '99 GT and I have it on my '05 GT and the performance gain is large. I would say that the gain going from Prokit to Sportline would be little. The biggest gain in that scenario would be that it cuts the amount of air getting underneath the car more than the Prokit which is good for high speed. The cornering gains over the Prokit are negligible if any.

Pro Kit is still VERY street friendly. Perfect for the person who just want the looks and little performance gain. Definitely not the way to go if you track the car or push it to it's limits regularly..............

90% of the cars I drove hard on and really tried to see what she can do and PUSH the limits....the Pro Kit honestly did not cut it. They are not even 20% more stiff over stock. Match these with a decently valved shock, you might have a good suspension. Most OEM shocks are geared minimally toward performance so with a performance spring it makes a difference from stock, but compare that to a true well ochestrated suspension and then get back to me. Not to sound like a dick, but putting Eibach on your pony is not the end all performance handling system by ANY means.

You're running 18" rims...how wide? Tire Size? Have you had any tire rubbing? I'm looking at the same setup (eibach with d spec adjustable shocks) and the ASA AR1 wheels. Also, did you consider the FR500 wheel? Price is nice but they seem a little heavy at 31 lbs.

RE: eibach pro kit
My wheels are 18x9 with 255/45 tires.
Yeah, I considered the FR500 wheels, but then I reconsidered when I remembered the 2000 Cobra R wheels. Everybody and his cousin was putting those wheels on their Mustang! I suspect the same thing will eventually happen with the FR500 wheels, second only to those dang Bullitt wheels. I wanted something a little different that not too many people will have. Not many Mustang fans like black wheels on their rides, but luckily all I get is compliments on my car. I've had lots of people yell out their windows to tell me my car looks hot.

Hey Dave,
The 20's look good, what width did you go with and tire dimensions? and last but not least are you having issues getting the 20's to stick? I mean since you had to go with lower side walls.... Any comments are appreciated...
Thanks.
