RE: Pro or Sport
Pro would provide you the best handling but at a sacrifice of ride quality, but if you plan on taking the car to the track on a regular basis Pro would be the best choice.
But for street setup Sport would probably be as much as you want in a daily driver. It should increase the handling but still provide a streetable ride.
If you are just looking for something that will make you car look the best, I beleive that you can find a spring that will lower you care as much as you want regardless of spring tension. I think that a 1-2" drop is the best for out s197.

RE: Pro or Sport
Great advice...thanks local.
I don't plan on bringing my car to the track in the near future. So it would just be about handling and appreance for the time being. I guess I'll go sport. With like a 1 1/4 drop correct?

RE: Pro or Sport
I have sport, looks great, but you need to replace the rear shocks at least at the same time. Otherwise over dips it will hit the bump stops at speed.

RE: Pro or Sport
Id go with the prokit, its a similar drop, has a higher rate (so itll handle A LOT better), but the rate isnt so high that itll rattle your teeth loose as the sportlines would. I dunno about where you live, around here there are tons of potholes - to the point where people have stickers like - "Im not drunk driving, Im dodging potholes!!!". Sportlines would be horrible around here, not to mention the wear and tear to your car. get the prokit.

RE: Pro or Sport
Hmmm..that's some food for thought. I live in Vegas and most of the roads are new and not to many potholes. I'd hate for the spings to wear on my car. [:@]
