what is it about the sportlines you don't want.

you could try fabricating the lower shock mount so that its lower. but you'd have to be pretty good with a cutter and welding

Um... no. Less travel is less travel. And if you drop it and don't add a lot of spring rate to counter the drop--it's even worse. Sportlines are too low and too soft both.
