Sportlines with 18's???
 
Anyone running the above combination. I know the ProKit is better for driving around on, but i'm looking for the "Low and Fast" and want to see pics. Thanks.

Jon,

REALLY low sure looks good when its parked but can be a bit of a challenge to live with.. As it is i scrape just a bit over speed bumps that are actually places I can go that have really steep driveways.

Im happy with my Hotchkis springs because I found them to be a happy medium between being low and still being pleasurable to drive..

The sportlines sure would look good though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Let us know what you decide..

I've actually been leaning towards LG Motorsport's springs, but everytime I see a car with a 1.5 inch drop, there's still too much wheel gap for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I'd love to see some pics if anyone's gotem' ??

Well Jonny you want low and fast.....this thing was low and fast.... http://www.ignitionsyndicate.com/sha...cam/cam_sd.jpg
remember her? Do you remember how much crap that thing would hit on the road? Dont go too low or it just wont be as much fun to drive. Stevens setup looks almost perfect in my eyes...those Hotchkis springs really do the trick. You can run Sportlines or pretty much any drop you want with 18's in front, but you cant go too wide. The front of the white didnt rub one bit (except for on the ground) and it had 17's with 255's....if you did 255/265's with the right profile on 18's you will be just fine. If you want to go really low get the HAL's of or some other type of coil over (cant think of any of them right now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> )
Good luck....I am personally going to go with the H&R 1.5" or the LG Motorsports....though I am going to look into the Hotchkis a little more also...what shocks are you running Steve?

Thanks guys. I guess since I'm running 275/35/18's up front, I might have a problem rubbing then? Ya, I remember Chev4Life's old Cam, god that car was bada$$! Anyway, I'm still pretty much set on the LG motor sports as well, like I had mentioned earlier to you Shannon, but just wanted to see some pics of Sportlines. I'm going to go with Bilstein's when the time comes.

Any pics of Sportlines at all out there?
