Sportlines or Prokit?

Im planning on Running 17x11 zr1's with 315/35/17 in back and 17x9.5 with 275/40/17 in front. Will the Sportlines be too much of a drop? Just right?...or should I go with the Prokit for less headache or smaller tires. The entire suspension will be updated with Spohn parts. Any suggestions would be appreciated as im tryin to get everything to gether all at once.

I have ridin in a thirdgen with sportlines and it had a much harsher ride. The pro-kit rode alot smoother. i suggest to get pro-kit.

actually you can fit a lot of tire up front in these cars, more than the rears. I run 275s on 4th gen wheels + 2" adapters + 5/16" rotor hat thickness with no rubbing.

You will be happy with either selection. The pro kit is a tad more forgiving but there isn't much difference between the two. I love my sportlines and I run 17x9's on all fours.
