Are the springs new or used and how long have they been on your car?

Get a picture if you can. I have the Prokit as well and it does drop it more than you think.

Pics not working?

Also, I am running a Pro setup as well and it has settled some over time, but as stated even the prokit is pretty low. Check your CA bushings (upper and lower) as I just replaced mine and didn't realize they were that bad as it brought the front up 1/4 inch.

ls1adamls1 your car's height in the front is about the same as mine.

DAVE00 yours is really low in the front for Prokit springs.

Yup, I can assure you they are prokit springs however, I know they have settled over the 13-14 years they have been on there. The car only has 49K on the clock so they are not worn out just settling slightly. Personally I love the way they look now.

my buddy had the pro kit on his 02 ss. it only dropped the car maybe 1.5", but looked very good.

i'm positive the ta has sportlines on it. it sits 2 ******* tortillas from the ground. they were on the car when it was purchased.

I wish I would stop looking at pictures like this. Ive decided on about 4 different wheel and suspension combinations in the last month. Im really diggin the TTMs right now and it just so happens I found a whole set with good tires for really cheap locally.
