I am getting ready to finally make the drop... My gut is telling me to go with the pro-kit. I have a 2010gt and will be pairing with 20" staggered wheels. I am looking for any personal experiences from the two lowering springs. The car is not a dd, but i do live in jersey with many speed bumps and potholes. I feel like the sportline may be a little too agressive and more towards "show" car. I have seen pics with both and i really camt complain about either. Definitely better than stock. Any feedback would be great.

 

Since nobody else has chimed in yet, I'll offer what's generally good advice for choosing between two options.

When you have any doubts (for whatever reasons), choose conservatively. Which would be the pro-kit in this case.

Thanks for your help. I am trying to get it "right" the first time with mods. I don't have the money to redo a mod just to try...lol... I will let you know how it turns out.. Maybe by the time I order it, I will get some more replies and feedback. Some mods are onesided, which will then lead me to believe one is definitely better than the other.. I had pro kit in mind from the beginning, but I always like to hear from ppl who have the experience. And so far, I've had great feedback from this forum...

 

I have Eibach Pro, 1.125" is what they finally settled in at for drop (took perhaps 100 miles)- front and rear

I am happy with the results.
koni yellows came along a little later...

 

I'd follow Norm's advice. Too low and you'll be painting that front bumper weekly, ask me how I know

On a side note, if there are many potholes where you live I'd go with 18's unless you have a friend who owns a wheel repair shop. Low profile tires and potholes don't mix.

 

I had both on my 13 GT.
I forget which one is lower but I had the higher kit with 20's on the stock shocks. They were shot around 25k miles.
Then went lower with 19's with the whole kit. Adjustable pan hard bar, lower rear control arms, bump steer & cast and camber plates. I really liked the lower setup on 19's. Wasn't as harsh as 20's. If I had to do it again I would do staggered setup like the cobra 19/20 really balances out the look IMO.
Some old crappy pics.

SVE Drift 19's no spacers. Great backspacing on that setup. Very rarely did I scrape. But I was always tactful of approach angles. It was a daily.
