(I'm sure this has already been answered but the search wasn't working).
I'd like to get the Pro-kit, but I just can't stand that wheel-well gap - my buddy has the pro-kit and the gap is still ugly. Is the handling compromised too much with the sportlines?

also, do I need a camber adjustment kit with the sportlines?

thanx

yes you will need a kit with sportlines, either that or slot the rear control arms and slot the front struts. However, with the sportlines you will still have a significant gap.

im not sure how significant it is, try looking at ace's signature, he has sportlines on his car and it looks very fu$king nice, not much wheelgap to talk about

I have pro kit and I enjoy the ride quality and cornering perfromance. However, I may switch to sportlines as well because they are about an inch lower then what i have right now and I want my car a bit lower.

From what I've heard, prokits are more performance oriented and sportlines are more look oriented. If I remember right some people said that sportlines didn't handle as good.

I guess I'll have to race TNord one day and we'll see how much of a difference there is between Sportlines and Prokits <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

The "Significant" Sportline Gap:

From what I've seen, Sportlines are stiffer than Prokits... the thing people complain about is that they aren't stiff enough to compensate for the amount of drop.
Also remember that my Sportlines are the older versions... I think they might have changed them a bit since people have been saying the advertised drop is less than or exactly 2", while they used to be 2.2" (front).

I never realized that prokits might be better for handling than sportlines.
Now I have one mroe choice to make.
