SPORT LINE OR PRO KIT?

i have 205/40/17 tires and rims.. i want to lower my car but not durastically so that it scrapes, but low enough that it looks sleek and the tire gap isn't too big... is the difference in roughness in the ride real big between sport lines and pro kit?? also, are ground control's smoother than either or worse? thanks

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
From all the posts I've read I think that Neuspeed sports are the springs to get. Nice drop without too stiff a ride. Anyone one have any opinions on neuspeed sports vs. eibach sportlines?

Pro kit doesn't provide much of a drop. I was considering these but don't want to end up replacing them 'cause the car is still too high.

With a 40 series tire, I am sure your car is already riding pretty bad. Keep in mind that lowering is going to magnify that effect. I think it depends on what your going for. If you want that slammed lowered look, then get a 1.5-2 inch drop. Also, check the current amount of space between your wheels and the fender lip. If it isn't that much, you could just go with the pro-kits to eliminate the gap. I went with the pro-kits because my car is the family car and I am keeping the stock tire size. So, a 1inch drop should eliminate half of the gap that is there.

I've done waaay too much research on this. Been trying to decide myself. I went with Sportline because it is the lowest, most efficient drop you can get. The pro-kit drop is hardly noticeable. Took me much reading and research to figure that one out. Now I gotta decide between Ground Control and Sportline.

Get the sportlines, they are the best. Prokit dosent look dropped to the naked eye and newspeed are good also but Eibach is better overall. I have sportlines on my ride, check the link.....

Also they settled much more since that pic, the rear is as low as the front now... Lata
