Do the sportlines, they will look a lot nicer! And will fit the car a lot better also. I was on pro kit when I bought my wheels and once I saw it a little lower I knew I should have gotten the sportlines instead but now I'm on coils and fully dumped

@Sgtmogunz What size tires are you running on the 18x7.5, 225/40/18?

Have to say the XXR 530 Chromium 18x7.5 looks amazing. I'm not a fan of the front wheel poke 8.75 provides, and didn't really want to run approx -2deg camber to tuck it with an approx 2" drop. This pick reminds me of G35's, which i loved.

They are exactly that size tire, 1" drop springs, and no poke whatsoever, I actually added a 5mm spacer to the rear and still no poke.

I heard that the pro kit is a much smoother ride, what do you think?

Think of it this way, the lower you go with springs on stock struts, typically the stiffer the ride. This is because wheel travel has to be controlled and limited with higher spring compression/rebound rates.

Of course coilovers are a different discussion, because their ride height is independent of the spring rate and shock dampening levels; although most coilovers have higher spring rates than low drop springs.

I've recently been noticing the XXR 527 being used [promoted] in motorsports.

Here are a few Formula D cars I saw a few weeks ago:


And on this AVO Turbocharged FR-S at the Taiwan Speed Festival 2013 which placed 3rd overall:
