I am seriously considering doing this. Do i have to change anything else on the suspension so that nothing else breaks or gets screwed up other than an alignment?
Also, what alignment specs should i get without causing tire wear?
I currently have -1 camber / +3 caster with my Pro-kit.

I cant help you with the alignment specs but I can say that I think your handling and ride would both suffer if you made the swap. The Sportlines have less travel and therefore less control than the Pro-kit. May I ask why you are swithing? Later,

Basically, i really like the lower look of the Sportline kit. But i don't want to give up any handling. When i spoke to Eibach, they said the Sportline will give better handling because of the lower centre of gravity.

I'd cut the spring before I'd go with sportlines. Sure you'd have lower COG, but expect to have to drive pretty carefully over any bumps or dips in the road, speaking from experience there. Ultra low is not always the way to go, lesson learned.

I've got sportlines on my 89 and the street ride is a real bone pounding trip... but while on the track... the difference is night and day.
