I have the sportlines and stock shocks. I know people are gonna rag on me for it, But overall I love the look of it and it is way better handling over stock and with my tower brace it corners quite nice with no body roll. I did have a problem with tire rub cuz I have 10.5 inch wides in the back but I got that taken care of and have yet to hit the bump stops even with the massive amount of construction all over the city. Still have to be cautious and pay attention but thats what the driver is suppose to do. I personally love them and you get a pretty good performance for the cost. But when I graduate and get a real job ill be spending the money for the stranos and bilsteins prolly, Ill be finding the lowest setup to keep it at its current stance if possible.

I love my Eibach Pro Kit springs Sportlines are said to require more add ons to keep geometry right & If a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs can make my buddies old 300 chrysler (on 22s) handle like a sports car Theyre just fine for my LT1 trans am lol I would get hotchkis 3rd but they only drop an inch Eibach makes good **** I believe they test on the same tracks that GM & others do in Germany SLP used em too What look you want is your choice IF you wanna carve corners install the Energy Suspension poly kit too Then you wont have that squishy feel stock rubber gives the ride is more firm & you feel the road way more in yer seat But the car will go where you point it If your runnin a lil taller tire get the Pro Kit youll like em alot

While you might not feel it (its not always a slamming feeling) its definitely happening as a stock car hits the bump stops as well.
Go out and look under the rear of your car while its at ride height and see how close the axle is to your bumpstops and tell me that your suspension doesn't move that 1/4" until it hits...

Heres a pic of a T/A with the prokit at ride height. So are you telling me with the lower sportlines (sitting you even closer to the bumpstops) that you really think you don't hit? Your rear suspension doesn't move 1"(or less)?
I know its lower than the pro kit, and yea you guys are right there less room for suspension travel, but I do have a shortened bump stop, its not the stock piece. I dont neccesarily disagree that its not good to have it so low and the sportlines are maybe to low, but the variables with each car are a little to much to be able to generalize your observations and apply it to every car of the same make and model. Every car is different and has very different combos of parts. Also these parts were on the car when I bought it so I checked clearance on all of that on the lift and underneath with my wheels before I drove off the lot with it. And BTW I guess I should thank you guys because I keep forgetting to mention that the bump stops are smaller and I guess I should start including that in suspension posts. lol. but i still know I dont knock anything unless I hit a relatively large bump/pot hole.
