OKay, so these are Eibachs best. The drop is VERY low, just how I want the spring drop. But I'm afraid it's going to be too low. I believe it can be anywhere between a 2.5"-3" drop (correct me if you will) I also run on 205/40/17 and Ive viewed some posts where theres rubbing with spring drops that are that dern low. Sportline looks mad awesome though, looks as good as it performs I bet!

Hmm.. you could be right. If they make the Pro-Kit, why not Sportsline?

BTW, whats the lowest possible drop on 205/40/17? Maybe a 2"?

Yeah, they do make the Sportline for the Tibs.

Kinda TOO low IMHO, but if you're just going purely for looks, go for it.

It will probably rub with the tires you have.

Yeah, I was thinking that myself. I just don't think the Pro-Kit is a low enough drop for my taste.

Do they?
I thought they made the Sportline Springs for the GK only, not for the RD's.
Are you sure KayJay? I haven't seen them on any website yet, if you have one please post it (I am actually very happy with my H&R sport set, but I have been curious about this for a long time).

If you are dropping for performance, I would definatly stay away from the low, low, LOW spring setups like that. Too low changes your suspension and steering geometry in ways that would take several pages in a magazine to get across to you.

with your wheels/tires.... anything lower that 2" is just asking for trouble, you might wanna take a look at other springs
