I've a black 01GT and about to put on chrome Bullitts (17x9 and 17x10.5 ) and am thinking of lower springs. Can I use the Eibach Sportline without any issues, or should I use the Pro Kit? The rear tire for a awhile wil be BFG KDWS 285 40 maybe later go with a 315 35.

I think the sport line is a hella big drop on the car, probably about 2 inches or more, which i think would cause some rubbing. the pro kit is like 1.5 or so inches, and i'm not sure, but it probably wouldnt rub.

Lowering more than 1.25-1.5" puts you in the realm of replacing the whole suspension system... Don't do it...
