Default ? on Sportlines and the Pro-Kit

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit right now, but I think i want it lowered some more, would it be worth it to switch to the Sportlines, or not??? and also does anyone know if there is any problems with the Sportlines and 18" tires in the rear, because that is what i have right now, 18" tires in the rear, 17"s in the front.... don't want any rubbing problems...

Thanks

I decided against sportlines due to them reportedly bottoming out so much. I think the concensus of quite a few is that they are actually too soft for serious performance.

had both... don't do it.
I went from stock to SLP-level1 to Sprtlines to Prokits to GC-coilovers.
Now I'm done changing it.
The sportlines are softer and lower... bad combination.
less suspension travel and less sprring rate will make them virtually impossible to dampen properly... heck, I couldn't set my Koni DAs so that I would dampen them right... yet had no issues setting the shocks wit the prokits or GC
