i put mine on yesterday and so far they look pretty good. Ill let you know if that changes as Ive heard some kits sag more in the back after a while.

My rear is a little lower. The camber is off by like .5 degrees. Not a lot, but will make a difference over time. I had mine installed, so I don't know what bumb stops were used.

The Sportlines drop is about 0.1" lower in the rear than the front. I've had mine on for about 3 months now and it looks great.

it looks ok but i prefer it to be even, yes I used the bump stops that cam with it. should i have not? install didnt seem that tough as i watched my mechanic friend do it. dont forget to bend the heat shield back, lol. it makes a nasty sound if not.

they arent hard to put in if you have the right tools.
took me like 2 hours, also to figure out what i was doing and make sure i was doing it right. i am sure someone that has done it before could get it done real fast. im sure if i had to do it again i could do all 4 tires in 45-1 hour

I have the sportlines and the rear was noticably lower (2 finger gap in the front, pretty much none in the rear). I put on a rear camber kit and it raised it up so there's about one finger gap in the rear now.
