I'm not, but to me they seem to be the best contenders.

- Budget (~$230)
- At least a 1" Drop

The sportlines are great, definitely low enough and still comfortable to drive around town. I live in the bay area and there are a lot of nice roads and a lot of down right shitty roads and I am able to drive fine through either. Perhaps others would disagree but they are worth it if you want a drop more than 1 inch and want to keep it really simple.

I ran the sportlines since October 2014 on my stock wheels and tries. About a month ago I recently upgraded my wheels and tires, which is what you will see in my flickr pictures.

My flickr in case you are interested: https://www.flickr.com/photos/131579734@N04/

Just saw your flickr, nice stance with the sportlines.

I had my RSR super downs for 5 months now and I would never go back to stock height. Nice functional drop for my daily driver and is only bumpy on crap roads. Although it is still only a tad rougher than stock springs. I've gotten used to the height after a week and have not scraped even on pretty steep driveways when taken at an angle.

Here's a pic of my car with 18x8.75 +35 XXRs.

Looks really good!

One thing I was unsure of is if I'll still be able to fit my jack under the car, might have to look into that lol. Just got the low pro jack from harbor freight.

Are you running camber bolts and LCA? If not, were you able to align them to factory or close to factory settings? Are the camber bolts and LCA required?

I'm running camber bolts up front just to get a bit more negative camber (~-1), but they are not required. No LCA either and my rear camber ended up at -2.2. The alignment shop was able to get me back to factory toe front and rear and that's what matters most in terms of tire wear.

So how are your rear tires holding up so far with the - 2.2 camber and factory toe setting?

I just bought some Super Downs aswell for my daily driver and my main concern is premature wear on the rears so was wondering if I need the LCAs or i'll be fine without it if my rear toe arms are able to be aligned to factory spec like you did yours and not have issues with tire wear as much.
