Hey, I was just wondering what everyone thought would be the better buy or choice of purchase, the ProKit or Sportline's? I've heard plenty of good for both but it looks like a pretty hard decision, I was just really looking for an overall review or suggestion of these two products, thanks!

From what I've read, it depends on the type of drop you want, 1" or 1.5". Just know that if you get sportlines you are going to need a camber kit which is another $130, and SOME members have had them sag in the rear. I was in the same dilemma as you, but I decided to go with Mugen suspension and I'm getting it put on today at 4 :)

Well I will probably go with the Motegi's in 18x7.5, so would anyone recommend a 1" or 1.5"? which would look better?any pics?if the 1" looks better I assume that would be the ProKit so I may go with that..


any more suggestions?

Man, that drop looks lower than mine and I have the H&R setup which advertises a 2" drop.

I've had the sportlines on mine for about 5 months or so now and love them.

With the sportlines you will be fine with the 18's

Just get your tires in 215/40-18, they are very well made. I have heard nothing but great things about Eibach. 1" drop is hardly noticable, so more drop is needed to get ride of the gap.

i dont think that the sag would come from the springs, more like worn shocks. Eibach makes high quality products.

most likely, Yes for the sportline. camber kit is $130ish + alignment costs.

I'm still in Honda specs with the Sportline and no camber kit.

Springs are what determine ride height, therefore, sag is from the springs.
Shocks only dampen the spring.
As in, slow down the springs movement.
