Yep, 1.4" drop sounds like the Sportlines which can be a bit harsh with the OEM shocks. Did you trim the bumpstops or just swap them over?

The stocks shocks are do-able with the ProKit but I can tell they are not keeping up with the transitions at Bogie, so need to alter my line or be smoother. So yeah, stock shocks are marginal for ProKit, not recommended for Sportlines.
