Want a 1.8" drop?
I finally said forget the coilovers and I'll just go with a spring. Now question is I live in Canada where it unfortunaly snows. What height will look aggressive with 18 rims w 215 35 18 rubber? I was think no more then 1.8. What company should i go for when choosing these springs?

IMO and experience, the prokit is good for handling and that alone. I just got rid of a prokit and upgraded to the H&R sports and Ingall's camber kit and absolutely love it. The H&R drop is perfect IMO, and drives and looks real clean. They ride a little bit bouncier but thats their only downfall. The prokit doesn't even look like there is a drop on the car, but you do save money from not having to buy a camber kit.
BTW Minch, my prokit never settled i guess
I would have been lucky to get 1.5" drop out of that kit with my AGX's

IMO, it needs to be lower. I hated the wheel gap i had and the H&R's on the 3.0 cut it down to almost nothing. Looks so much cleaner than the prokit did. I do agree on the WAY BETTER than stock was, and it is a great kit to start out with. When i had the kit i always wished it was lower, and with my H&R's i really don't have that desire anymore. My personal experience here, everyone has diff tastes
the pro-kit doesnt lower the car enough. I took think the H&R's are near perfect. Not too high, not crazy low
....but i think H&R is better from the drops ive seen compared to pro-kits

sometime soon i am going to post a great spring pic. It is stock, the prokit and the h&r's front and rear all right next to each other measuring the wheel gap. I always thought the prokit rear wasn't bad, but the front was about .75-1.00" too high. The h&r's corrected my quams.
been without it for two weeks now.
