Pro kit Vs Sportline

The Pro-Kit is good for a small drop and nice ride handling. The Sportline is a bigger drop to help reduce body roll. If you are looking for a quality drop Eibachs are pretty good brand to go with. Hope this helps!

maybe splitting hairs but i dont think lowering the car helps body roll

Maybe not directly, but having a lower center of gravity does help reduce some body roll lol

i think thats a loaded statement especially when trying when people are asking such simple questions. without adjusting roll center, lowering the car is only going to increase roll. so in this particular case, the springs with the least drop (assuming the same spring rates) will have the least body roll. being lower will drop cog and help with weight transfer but maintaining suspension geometry is far more important than a lower cog

I would suggest sportlines. I had prokit on my civic, and my other homies had sportlines
the sportline gave a better drop and felt like it handled a bit better.

Those with the sportline springs, do you need a camber kit?

Awesome! Gives me less to worry about when I get mine installed! When? No clue yet haha.

Anyone do a track test of both of these yet? I think both kits look MUCH better than stock, but which one performs better?

Do you have more handling insights by any chance? That drop looks perfect to me.

Typically when it comes to handling, the least amount of drop on the OEM dampeners the better. "Typically"

Eibach will tell you their pro-kits are geared for performance, sportlines for looks.

I'd go Pro-Kit. You'll have more confidence going over more surfaces. I had ~1.5" drops on my previous cars and accumulated scrapes/punctures on their front ends through the years. So I decided on springs for my BRZ that only lower it 0.6" optimized for the stock struts. Even with that small drop I still lightly scrape my front lip sometimes. Today I beat a red light through an intersection with a gradual dip. I almost went airborne as I flew over the dip then felt a firm rebound like you see cars do on a racetrack. Felt awesome haha and best of all no scrape!
