I have the Prokit, pics in sig. Handles great, headers clear the road just fine, and there's plenty of room under there for speedbumps.

I wouldn't want the car any lower than it is right now- its perfect.

A common problem with Eibachs tho is that they sag in the rear over time.

Get Hotchkiss bro. I had sportlines on my previous f-body and changed it right away because it gave me problems such as being bouncy and speedbump and f*cked up roads. The 00 Camaro ss I have now came with sportlines and changed it back to hotchkiss and man what a difference in ride. Hotchkis I believe drops about 1.25 to 1.5 and the stance looks great. I like it better then the prokit.

Sportlines: very low ride height + very low spring rate = uncomfortable ride + riding on bumpstops + bottoming out over all sorts of road impressions.

Eibach Pro-Kit or Hotchkis: decent ride height without too much bottoming out and have a decent spring rate. If you have properly valved shocks, then you'll have a decent ride with a good, if not improved performance.
