"People tend believe what they want to believe, and the truth is usually a close kept secret."
Ever hear that?
I think it looks good, and if you are happy then who cares.
It becomes amusing seeing members take rumors or opinions and interpret them as facts.
I can only say this...perform the research, assess the results and make your own decisions.

I love the look sportlines give my car cuz of my 18/19 wheel combo! Now referring to a comment on them hurting launches at the track, that has not been the case with mine since I'm still hitting the same 60's as before I had them. However, adj. LCA's with relo brackets and a adj. panhard bar are on my soon-to-do-list since they definitely cannot hurt!
So in simple words, if you like how they look, GREAT!

Your soon to go list is for sure the way to go. But I would suggest the first upgrade would be the pan hard bar. Seeing how anytime you lower a vehicle it offsets the rear end. Below is a link to show you what UMI Performance has to offer! If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be sure to help!
Thanks

Hello ! I have the Prokit with Bilstine shocks ( tuned by SLP ) , Car handles allot better & I installed a UMI PHB at the same time . But I did notice less
traction after the install , so I ordered up a set of UMI Adj rear arms & Relocation brackets & it solved that problem , car hooks now !

I don't about everybody else, but in my opinion they are some super shitty springs. They give great stance that looks badass, but ride like crap after awhile. They car basicaly sits on the bump stops cuz the springs are so soft. Maybe you will have better luck than I.

Well... I have a similar set up that came with my car. my sportlines have been cut to make my car insanely low. and it handles like a motorcycle. I need to get rid of them because i want headers but the car looks amazing and handles really well. i'll miss them after i get rid of them though 
and the car looks awesome by the way

In the sense of a good handling spring, no, they are terrible, arguably the worst. Get under the back of your car and check how much suspension travel you have. This is a picture of the travel with the prokit which is higher than the sportline springs:
You are left with almost no suspension travel and combine that with really soft spring rates and you are on the bump stops 99.9% of the time you are driving. This is why the sportline springs are hated, they are way too low and don't have near enough spring rate to compensate.
