pro-kit vs sportlines

hey guys i think im gonna finally lower my car.

im leaning towards the pro-kit right now. it has a nice drop and looks pretty good. my y-pipes scrapes as it is with a 1 inch drop.
does the pro-kit drop the back more then the front? i want a more "tilted" stance. rather then having the whole car sit evenly.

do you think the bilsteins i have on there right now will be able to handle it?

hopefully i wont need a adj PHR or relocation brackets yet.

oh and is there anyone selling any springs?

Yes , your back end will hit the bump stops on stock shocks . . . you may want to go with LG motorsports G2 kit .

Edit : I see you have Bilsteins from factory , I had decarbons

I went to National Tire Wholesale a few months ago and the dude there quoted me the Pro Kit for $260. I didnt ask about the Sportlines but my guess would be about the same.

Very nice. I have the silver painted firehawk rims cause the chrome ones from SLP had all kinds of pitting and chipping problems. I really like the firehawk bird on the center caps but now I'm thinking a set of chrome rims like the ones you posted would look way better. I would consider buying rims like those if someone could get a super deal on a group buy?

I found some mint condition firehawk chrome rims on ebay. I'm gonna bid on them. There are great deals on ebay, I shop there first.
