which springs to use??

I want to lower my car,I don't know if I should go with Sportlines or the Pro kit,my car is an 89 WS6 with Formula GP SHOCKS/STRUTS.Will the sportlines be to rough? would the pros not make much difference? will my shocks/struts work well with lower springs? I also read rescently that you should change the lenth of your end links,and use LCA relocatin brackets or your handling can be "QUIRKY" is this true? what lenth for the links?????

alright here goes. first of all do you want a lowered look, if so go with the sportlines and get ready for a lowered ride. the only way to have a lowered car and smooth ride is to (a. buy a cadilac, b. but airbags on your car.) i doubt you want to spend the hefty price for airbags, right! now I have the pro-kit and it works great; it is lower than stock height, (when the car was new in 1991 that is, they always leave that little note out for some reason.) but for all intended purposes the pro-kit probably won't achieve what you want, my car didn't change height at all. I would like to buy the sportlines except i've noticed after a year they get compressed and drop too low and then you have to buy another set, so i'm waiting for my pro-kit to drop (maybe in another 9 years anyway). have you ever seen a real lowrider or lowered car, remember you sacrifice a little of your ride comfort for the look, but don't let people scare you as long as you don't cut the coils yourself or drop it too crazy your ride will be alright, after all it is a f-body right, if you wanted a plush ride you wouldn't have bought the car would you!
