Yep with that 17'' wheel You probably need about 11/2 to 2 inch drop. And a tire with a bigger sidewall.

here's the real question...we all know our cars look better lower. But, these are important questions.. is it a daily driver? how are the streets? steep driveways? speed bumps? Cause i want to lower my car, but NJ streets are so bad SUV's are scared to drive on them..so, yea, you should lower it, but are u going to scrape and screw up your car...

Go with BMR or Hotchkis that's only a 1" drop. Prokit's aren't for daily drivers that are going somewhere other than high school and back IMO.

I have a pro kit with LT headers and 3" exhaust and as long as you're careful you won't have any problems with it damaging anything
