Dunno about the Sportlines, but I am fairly confident that the Pro Kit won't drop the car too much to cause problems with LTs.... I have the PK on my GTA right now and I have LOTS of ground clearance as is and plan on going with Hooker SC LTs later this summer ($$$ permitting of course).

you *might* be okay... not positive tho

My car is lowered and has shorties on it and it's close to the ground....the Y-pipe might have been able to have been pushed up a little bit more but it'd be a tight fit.

Heres a picture of the clearance I have.... if u can't quite make it out, theres about a finger's width above my hand to the bottom of the Y-pipe

Then again my car is lowered quite a bit... I'm not too sure by how much as when I bought it was already lowered - - I can't even fit a jack under the frame to jack it up; I have to use the jack points on the sides.
