If you want the best handling performance then stay with the Pro Kit. The Sportline is purely for appearance, not performance. The Sportline have softer spring rates then the Pro kit.

Listen to Steve , that guy IS suspension. I couldn't feel any difference between the two sets but I have't been in a sportline maro. For the most part the pro kit is the best performance and the sport is for looks (even lower). You would think that the lower you are the better the handling but I didn't notice that. Both are better than stock springs so take your pick.

If you're looking for a grandma ride you'll like the Sportlines. The Pros are stiffer, more agressive, and thus ride harsher.

really? I would have thought different. I have the pro-kit and i'm happy with my ride. I just want to know if i go with the sportlines(because i want a little lower!) what am i going to loose?

I want it lower, but how much performance for street applications will i loose. I don't care to much about tiny numbers just the big ones..........would i be better off switching to coil overs?
