Rookie questions here. I was contenplating whether to get pro Ks or sportlines. I really like the sportline look. Anything is better than my 4x4 look right now though. OK here are the questions: Do the c/c plates go in the front or rear? Do I need to buy new struts and shocks if I were to go with the pro Kit. What struts and shocks would be best with the sportlines. Thanks!

Sportlines are lower. cc plates go in the front. there are a number of different shocks tokico, blistins and a couple other that would do just fine. My choice was the sportlines because the drop is perfect

Wheels are 18 x 9 up front and 18 x 10 in back.

Tires are Toyo Proxes T1S 245 40 18 up front (too narrow, I recommend 265's) and 295 35 18 out back.

Which springs drop your car more? Sportlines or the SuperSports?

Roads around here suck too, but I really think the pro kit doesnt drop the car enough... I'm just worried that i'll scrape everywhere I go...

Sportlines drop your car more an 2" where as Super Sports are 1.75". I totally agree that Pro-Kit isn't enough drop and I really think that Sportline is to much drop. H&R seems to have gotten it just right with being right in the middle! But it's all a matter of personal opinion, driving style and road conditions where you live.

Sportline with isorater left in seem pretty good IMO. I wish my Pro3i C/C showup sometime soon, so ithat I can install my spring/shiks, and 18's. But i's still debating about isoraters. I want to get it off, but I'm thinking if I do, my BBK O/R X will scrape

Does your Bullitt have the isolators left in then? Cause I thought that it looked a bit higher than other Sportline cars I've seen.

Just leave them in the drop is low enough. If you got long tubes you will scrape. Maybe not on everything but you will do it and I would not like to here that so i am sure you would not either. put it this way All i have is a catback and I cannot even get a 12oz coke can to fit underneath where the catback and midpipe meet

Go with H&R SS!

I had sportlines on my car first and the back sagged after a year and a half. The ride was crappy compared to my H&R super sports. The h&R ss are stiffer and handle way better than the sportlines did. I would recommend them over the eibach's.

Where did you guys get the H&R SS Springs? I bought some magazines just for the adds and it seems like everyone carries Eibach and Intrax but no H&R.

Yeah, the isolators are in.

They might settle a bit more as they only have been on for a couple weeks.

Low enough for me due to the Bullitt side skirts.....
