Pro-kit, it's progressive springs ment for performance, not just looks. I didn't notice much of a drop on my car but it was worth the $200.

I know it doesn't exactly answer your question, but I've got ProKits and couldn't be happier! I will certainly buy them again for future cars. I honestly don't know what you're talking about regarding the Anti-roll kit. WTF is it?

The Eibach pro-kit is cool for the street, but if you're lookin into some serious cornering capabilities, the sportlines got the advantage in terms of handling. Progressive springs are generaly more perfered for the street since they offer a more comfortable ride than linear springs and still give better handling. Problem with progressive springs is that the handling is inconsistant because the transistion from the soft part of the spring to the hard part is usually abrupt and upsetting to the car when in agressive manuvering. I've got the sportlines on my car and it feels like you can toss the car around the road and not worry about mushy suspension movments. As for the Eibach "Anti-Roll Kit", its just Eibach's package name for their sway bars. The package comes complete with necessary brackets, bushings, and of course the sway-bars themselves... therefore a "kit". Aight payce!

Ok,so the sportlines are for hardcore AutoXers,and the Pro-Kit is a good all around set-up.I thought the antiroll kit was something special.

I would have to agree with antiVTEC. My sportlines make the car handle much better than the pro-kit I used to have. My top speed around one of the turns on a course I drive went up by about 10-12 mph. It seems to hug the small dips in that particular turn better and keep the tires on the road instead of bouncing around at that high speed.

RSpeed and others with Sportlines;
Did you have to modify anything else when you installed these springs? Did the alignment shop have any problems? Did your sportlines settle over time? Was the advertised drop what you actually got?
