I believe just the difference in drop height.

I had a set of one of the ones you mentioned, and did not like it as it was TOO low. I bought the SLP 1" springs and all good now.

Here is how it looks.

oh so its just a drop difference nothing quality or anything cause they are both the same price and the sportlines are a bigger drop on WS6 store.

Prokit is not as low, and has a factory feel. The Sportlines are lower and stiffer. I have the Prokit, been on for years, no issues. And I ran the factory shocks up until last year or so.
