They are fine in the winter, ride is worse than stock but okay. The roads get cleared up fast at least but it's the rain I'm more worried about. Water gets channeled into the side skirts and throws off the steering. So that's gonna be worse now.

Um yea the drop is really low for prokit. It is the prokit for sure, black springs with eibach writing on them. Not settled yet, but I measured one finger gap in the back and two in front.

i wouldn't be sure those are the prokits, with that kind of a finger gap is like a 2" drop and the prokits are rated to about a 1" drop

Well I don't know what else to tell you. Eibach makes prokit and sportlines, the prokit is black like mine, it says eibach on the spring, and the guy selling it said they're prokit. I'll try and find a before pic to convince you.

well I got my alignment and I needed to also get BOTH front and rear camber kits installed. Not bad only $160 for everything. Car rides so much better, it almost feels like stock. As of now, there's 2 finger gap in front and 1 in the rear. I think it's settled hopefully. I'll take one more pic later.

Show off !!! ^^sweet ride !
btw, I raised my car 2 thread on the front, I am still tuckin 17"s but i no longer rub or hit the road ! plus the shop I took it to taught me how to change springs and shocks all !

note: For those with sleves, have them cut the strut spring perch that way you can adjust your front easily. (I had that done today, now I can lower and raise the front as I please)

RE: ground controls @ front mod for stock strut

this what you need to cut (Stock spring perch) when you install sleves so you can reach and adjust them.
