My advice: no matter which part you replace, always keep your stock one. Never know what can happen in the future

If that's the drop you're looking for H&R's are your only option lol. I think with the CM/SSC's they dropped 1.2" in front and 1" in back. But the ride was extremely close to stock. I didn't even feel a difference to be honest

Do the sportlines actually drop the front a lot? I have been looking into getting some springs. I just want to to still be able to get a standard jack under the car. I had the prokit on my eclipse and you could barely get a jack under it I had to go at an angle. Ive read the prokit doesn't really have any drop on the SS's though. I'm not really looking for better handling I don't race the car. Just something to make it look a little better. The back has a giant gap. I wish they made a kit where you could get sportlines on the back and prokit on front. Does anyone know the actual drop on the SS's for the sportlines?

Sportlines are 1" Front and 1.3" Rear.

Because I don't like when cars are too low (IE tucking wheels) I think someone similar to the sportline's drop on a TC looks the best. If you like that drop, CM springs are another good option for you at 1"/1.5"
