Default Want to lower my car

im looking to get a set of springs for my car and i dont know which to get the prokit or the sportline. my main concern is that the front and rear have the same wheel gap. Which will give me that? Also, i dont like when the tire actually sits in the fender. I guess im looking for about 1/2 to a 1" fender gap.

i love my prokit, i scrape a little but nothing too bad and the only time i scrape is when i go over stupid speed bumps. if u get longtubes dont bother with the sportline it will be way to low. look in the f/s section im sure u can find a good used prokit set.

prokit is like a 1.5 inch drop and sportline is around a 2 inch drop.

so longtubes or no longtubes is what u should think about.

I was wondering if you needed to change out the shocks after installing the pro kit?

This is a TA but I have the Prokit, Mine doesnt scrap much at all unless I have a friend in the car and go over a big speed bump. I have the KYB 8 ways on mine, I have them set soft now so that maybe why I scrape when I do.

Pro Kit then. I did sportlines, and it was a 2 inch drop. Loved it though!

I ran the stock shocks for another 10K after lowering, and it was just fine. Only reason I switched them out is because I got an amazing deal on some Koni DA's.

Can you clue us in? I'd be interested in a deal on Konis.
