I have had the prokit for 1 year+ with stock struts. I am also riding on 225/40/18s.

Im going with the prokit, cuz i dont want to upgrade my shocks and in PA i cant go that low. hope this helps
it does...thank you..now i have to remember to factor in the shocks because the last thing i need is to get a bad shock on a long trip.....have to see if i can get the parents to cover it

Tell parents its a safety issue. Must install good aftermarket shocks (Tokiko's or KYB) with lowering springs so you don't make same mistake countless others have, which is the whole point of this website -- or one of them. Search word: "blown".

If your 15's are stock size, then the prokit will do. If your 15's are smaller, you might want to consider the sportlines.

more than likely Prokit. if your stayin stock anyways and just want the gap covered, just go with prokit, the easiest route and will look clean

I agree with this whole post. If you're gonna go with the Pro-Kit, I recommend some new shocks within a year, if not a little sooner. I started noticing a little too much bounciness in my ride about a year after I got my springs.
I also do NOT recommend an Ingalls camber kit. I've had mine fixed twice, but it still makes noise (somewhere on there, I think a bolt is sliding on an arm, if that makes sense). I need to replace it.

Edit: I have 215/45/17s.
