Eibach Pro Kit or sport lines?

Im wanting to lower my car and get rid of some of the tire to fender gap. Im pretty positive my stock springs have sagged some, So I dunno if getting the prokit will even lower it.. I dont wanna get the prokit and not be happy with the results, but I dont want to get the sportlines and be way to low for a daily driven vehicle. I dont have ground effects so thats a sligh plus as far as scraping goes. What do you think?

Prokit, because I feel that they have better spring rates

They DO have better spring rates. By better, I mean stiffer. But the original post said nothing of what they wanted to do other than get rid of tire/fender gap.

Pretty happy with my Dropzone's. Probably wouldn't want for a daily driver though.

Re: Eibach Pro Kit or sport lines?

i would say prokit only because i had 1inch lowering (forgot brand) on my camaro v6/auto it was fine daily driving but scraped exhaust tips somtimes and scraped nose of car 1ce in awhile and just to be cautious incase you come into crapy roads or pot hole ect...

pro kit!!!! i have them ordered and on the way now to replace my sportlines. sportlines are to soft for the drop. and they did slam my car in the front about 2+ inches and it was hardly driveable. over my sagging stock iroc springs they dropped my car 1 and a half inches.

Re: Eibach Pro Kit or sport lines?

I second the sportlines. Granted I can no longer go over medium sized speedbumps, but it looks great!

Re: Eibach Pro Kit or sport lines?

I'm buying Pro Kit this week. I'm going with prokit because of what's been said on this site, prokit is for performance, sportline is for looks. I want better handling and I also want more ground clearance if I ever go with longtube headers.
