Default Prokit VS Sportlines

I'm debating on whether purchasing the Eibach prokit or the sportlines. I have true duals and just curious if the sportlines will work?

Sportlines are for parking, not driving.

Many people say the sportlines springrate isn't sufficient for the amount that they lower the car and because of that, they not only scrape but are prone to bottom out as well. The question is, are you more concerned with the overall slammed look or do you want a lowered look with good performance and handling?

If you do get Sportlines get the LT1 version. It will handle better compared to the LS1 Sportlines. It has to do with being a progressive rate instead of a linear rate.

If you call Strano, he can revalve a set of Bilstiens and recomends a spring based on your use and variables (low exhaust.) Well worth the lil' extra coin having a set-up tailored to you.

Well I'm not really looking so much for the "slammed" look. More so just a nice, tucked drop w/ good performance, handling, and so forth. Does anyone have pics w/ the prokit?
