what size tires are you running..? If its stock size, no rubbing. I think they will only rub once you get bigger than a 235 series. I think the 225/40-18's are a good size to run.

Well I've asked and I've heard from several members that the sportlines with even a 245/40 18 won't rub. Someone told me the only time they did was hitting a big bump while turning hard left it rubbed on the inside a little bit. Just be careful doing tight turns and you should be fine.

BTW I have 245/40 18's on order and I have sportlines so I'll tell you first hand if they rub or not.

I can't speak for the Sportlines. But, I say the prokit gave me a better than stock ride, and, when I'm hard in a turn and I hit a bump or hole or something, instead of the car getting all loose it stays planted to the pavement.

Prokit will not give you as much of a drop but will firm up the ride. The sportlines firm up the ride and lower a bit more than the pro kit.
