Here's what mine looks like on Eibach Sportlines the day that I dropped it. I think it settled a little lower now. The ride is nice, although you feel the bumps much more over stock. Its slightly more bouncy to, but then again I'm on stock struts.

Pro-kit is not a 2 inch drop. It's supposed to be a 0.8" drop, but most people say it drops about 1"

Sportline is supposed to be a 1.4" drop, but it's probably more around 1.5" - 1.75".

Go with the Sportlines. You will hardly notice a drop with the prokit.

yea, 2" leaves a one finger gap. 2.25" takes out all the gap
