The sportlines are more of a drop than the pro-kit. I have the pro-kit and the ride is near stock on stock struts/shocks. I wanna get the sportlines though cuz when the wheels are on with the lower profile tires it looks like a drive a monster truck still. So, if you have lower p-file tires i would reccommend the sportlines.

It all depends in how much of a drop you want.. If you want a bigger drop go with the sportlines. But if your looking for better handling, rather than just a drop. Go with the pro kit. I have heard the sportlines are a rough ride. Sportlines will also wear out your stock struts quicker.

I just have heard sportlines are too much of a drop for the stock struts and shocks. Like if you hit a pothole at a fair speed you will have one messed up balt.

I have had sportlines on my LS for about 15,000 miles. I also replaced the stock FE1 struts and shocks with FE5 units from an SS/SC. The only modification I had to do was cut the bumpstops as directed. The car rides real tight, not rough at all, and I've had absolutely no problem with pot holes. Speed bumbs are a different story though. Went too fast over the first one and scraped up the undercarriage pretty good.

Sportlines
I am really enjoying the sportlines. No complaints. No problems.
