Sportline or Pro Kit?

After spending over a grand on a clutch/flywheel, and a few hundred more on mounts, axles, and drag radials I do not have much cash to play with. Can't afford a nice coilover set up so I want to drop it with springs. What would be best? The sportline or Pro Kit and why? Also does using these springs do a number on the struts? Thanks guys.

pro kit isnt going to drop an SS/SC. so if you are looking for a drop... go with the sportlines. you could also get a kit like the SSC or CA... they are a little less and drop nicely as well

the eibachs definitely perform great... i have the prokit since i am a 2.2 so if you just wanna upgrade the peformance of your springs, prokit might be ok for you. but i imagineyou want the drop as well so go sportline

Go with the sportlines. The pro kit would only lower the back end of the car and that would be pointless. The ride that the sportlines give is awesome cause it is tight, firm, and it only rides a little bit rougher than stock. If you want some pics to get an idea what they look like check out my gallery.

Thanks alot guys. No one mentioned about strut damage. Is this something that puts alot of extra wear on the struts?

I have yet to hear about a strut problem with the sportlines on a SS/SC. I don't think that it really bothers the struts too much cause it isn't that much of a drop.

Well, in that case I may have to order some from TTR. I got alot of points and I think I'm up to like 30 bucks off my next purchase. OR maybe I'll wait for a group buy or something...thanks for the advice. I'll wait to hear some more from peeps.

I forgot to mention that it helps a little bit with getting rid wheel hop. I dont have an ingalls or any kind of engine/tranny mounts and I only get wheel hop when it is wet. But there have been a few times that I have gotten it on dry pavement.
