is prokit worth it?

is it worth it? I dont know if it's worth it to pay $600 for a drop that's barely noticible and new shocks (106,000 miles). As for other lower springs, ive herd some bad things about even the ingalls camber kit.

Pro-Kit is ok on the 3.0, but I wouldn't do it on a 2.2 (go with Sportlines or another brand).

Well the prokit is kinda of a small drop, it all depends on what you want... Like to me i think its stupid to drop 1.5" (prokit) because people barly even notice the drop and you still have a gap depending on what shocks you buy. Im more into the slammed drops, but prokit is more beneficial for handling and performance. With a prokit, in most cases a camber kit is not needed. If you have any negative camber at all with the prokit its prolly nothing to worry about. It's all up to you, I think personally if your buying new shocks anyway to go with something like a Sportline drop. I actually noticed the sportline is even a little cheeper then the prokit on some sites...It also depends on your area if you live in the middle of New York City w/ potholes everywhere then i wouldn't recommend a SLAMMED drop...

And about the ingalls camber kit...It seems that all the camber kits are kinda cheeply made. But they do the job sometimes make a squeak or two.

Also search around the board their is numerous posts about different spring/shock combos.

I don't think the pro-kits are worth it. Some of the 3.0 drops I've seen with the pro-kit looks descent. The 2.3...you can hardly tell.

jamolie has a great price on the ground control coilovers. $270+shipping is really the best price you'll ever find.

Teins are another possibility I'd look into. It's big bucks but nothing will ride closer to stock than Teins.
