Question about Pro-Kit springs Before anything, don't start recommending me to go buy Stranos or other springs. I have read enough threads to know that they're superior, but recently I've come across a deal on a set of Pro-Kits I couldn't pass up.
Anyways, I just have a simple question. Many people have told me about how low the rear would sit with the Pro-Kit. My question is, would it be fine for me to run a set of Pro-Kits up front and then run stock springs out back with the hose mod? That should give the car a great stance, no?

What do you think is a great stance? Only you know what you think is a great stance, not us
Pro-kits lower the car a lot. At least 1.2-1.5 inches right? The rear hose mod will lower it about .5-.75 inches. I guess you could just try it....

i had prokits all around, but couldnt stand how the rear rode. i have stockers w/o isolators in the rear now, and looks pretty good now that the springs settled again (stockers had been out of the car for ~ 9 months). rides a whole lot better too.
