yeah i'm lsj and i dunno im hopin it'll be fine cause 2.5 in the rear and 2.0 in the front is pretty legit lol gotta remember i live in ohio shitty roads around where i live. is there any real difference between the sportline pros and just plain old sportlines?

eibach pros are less of a drop ( so more wheel gap obviously) sportlines are the way to go if you want less wheel gap and still want to perform. If i could do it all over without wasting money i would have went coils instead lol

yeah the wheel gap is what im trying to eliminate so theres no real difference in the ride quality then between the pro kit then?

and yes coilovers would be legit i just can't see myself putting a grand into my suspension but totally worth it yes lol

I have B&Gs 2.0 front and 2.5 rear and I'm close to rubbing with stock 15s with stock raptor tires. 2 finger gap on the rear and about 3 on the front.

The Sportlines do not drop an LSJ that much, those measurements are for a base model. The sportlines are a nice mild drop, I ran a 235/40/18 on them with no problems.

The Eibach pro-kit is basically a stock height LSJ spring, slight drop in the rear, like .5", and none in the front, just with a better spring rate.

Yeah I have B&Gs and they do put me low enough where I scrape every time I go up my driveway. But then again I'm still on stock 15s so I am lower than I wanna be right now.
