I have them and love them. Im running true duals and yes I scrape but I love the lowered look and handling.

The look awesome and handle pretty decent on the street. At the drag strip I still mannage to pull a 1.78 60ft with them on (Not the greatest 60ft, but good for those springs imo).

There are a few downsides though. Clearance has NOT been a problem for me with my LT headers and I rarely scrape, however if you aren't careful over anything over 3 inches you will feel it. Also if you take hard turns (going 35+) then the body will have enough roll to scrape the Y-pipe.

You'll at least need a adj panhard to re-center your axle and I highly recommend LCA relocation brakets if you want any form of traction. Those are the bare things you'll need. Shocks & LCA's will help out a lot.

Good luck and feel free to visit my website for photo's of the stance.

Look good, handle good, clearance isnt a *problem* but for me, its less then desired, so I'm going to something else. Maybe a pro kit or drag springs.

Don't mean to hijack the thread here but do the sportlines handle better then the Pro-kit? I was under the impression that the sportlines were more for apearance then ride and handling?

I have the sportlines and they work alright, looks good and I don't scrape too much, mostly just the black plastic airdam behind the bumper

I have the sportlines in our 02 Z28 and It is way too low. I'm pulling the Eibachs out and going back to stock for now. The look is great but the ride was on the rough side.
