Eibach Proline VS Sportline

I am putting on 17" rims on my car soon, with 215/45/17 tires.

Of course, I need to lower my car, and I am debating between Eibach Pros or Sports.
My main objective is to reduce the wheel well gap and still maintane the ride quality.
The obvious answer is Prolines, but I'm not quite sure if 1" will be enough lowering, opposed to Sports, which lowers 1.4".

My big question is, how much "stiffer" are the Sports to Pros?

BTW: can some peeps post profile pics of their rides, w/17", and lowered? Please state your tire size & and which springs you have--Sports or Pro.

Pro-Kit --> 0.5"-0.7" all around
Sportline--> 1.0-1.2" all around

i hear the prokit is stiffer, sportline gives the more aggresive drop.

I thought that eibach listed the prokit springs are dropping the vic 1in all the way around?

Regardless of height, the sportlines are stiffer than the pro kit, sportlines are like 50% stiffer rates than stock while the pro kits is 20-30% stiffer.
