If you are looking for performance, get the Pro-kit, but if you are just looking for a good drop, get the Sportlines! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

What do you want to do? Just trying to make it look better or handle better. I say get the G2 springs, they're in between the drops of the Eibachs.

B]bigSS [/B]im looking for something that's reasonably cheap "beat bang for the buck", lowers the car to a good looking stance (i just dont want that 4x4 look anymore!), and affects the ride the least.

The G2s are stiffer than Eibachs from what I hear, so maybe you don't want those.

I have the Pro-Kit and it dropped me about 1.5 inches. If you want to do long tube headers in the future or boxed subframes you might not want to get the Sportlines because they drop the car lower than the Pro-Kit, about 1.75-2 inches if I remember correct. I scrape with my MAC ORP and boxed subframes over speed bumps all the time. However the ride is tremendously better with the car dropped. No more nose dip and the car seems to lean into turns better. Hope this helps.

ADM408,

you didn't mention what size wheels and tires you have on your car.I have the Pro kit on my 99 T/A, with the 16" wheels and 245/50/ZR 16's the car is really low, my floor jack wouldn't go underneath it but with the 17"s and the 275/40/17's it's just about perfect. I really like the stance and it looks great.
