Sportlines are too low and too soft, you will be riding around on the bumpstops all the time with those springs.
the only thing they're good for are cars that sit around at car shows and aren't driven on the street.
Better options- Strano springs, Eibach Pro Kit, Hotchkis, and basically any other spring out there.
In any case, Im fairly certain that the Bilsteins SLP used were specially valved. Bilstein does not recommend their shocks with anything other than stock springs. Custom revalved bilsteins are the cheapest acceptable option for aftermarket springs. Then Konis are a little more but are adjustable and are good out of the box.
