Alright, so here it is, been researching for quite a bit,
i got a set of koni yellows,
and am wanting to hear some peoples opionons on this topic.

I would be mainly using my car for street use, getting to and from uni, ect, and most likely will never track, would only wsid.
so the question is with the koni yellows would you get the Pro-kit, or the Sportsline?!

If anyone has used either or both some input would be great, ive read all the info and put a lil bit at the end of this post to help those who are also making the same decision.

Also if anyone has the rates of the springs that would be great, i can't seem to find it any where. =D

for street use, I'll go for pro-kit, because it won't be as hard as the sportsline kit (unless you don't mind), and being not too low make it quite practical for everyday driving, you don't have to go extra slow over a bump.
I myself was going to get the pro-system (pro-kit + pro-damper), but got a good deal on tanabe coilover.

Hey,

I've got the sportsline kit myself. Before buying my these springs, I was pretty hesistant on going too low as I still wanted to maintain as much comfort and convenience as possible. After having these for almost a year I can tell you that it's actually comfortable and is not too low as my front lip does not scrape - big humps don't worry me one bit. Handling wise its great and even when going over pot holes it doesn't shatter my back. After using cheaper brands like King springs and Jumboz, there is a significant difference in ride comfort and I personally wouldn't ever go back to any other brand. :thumbsup:
By the way this is also using stock shocks :o

eibach pro-kit is good but over time u may want a lower drop and something that rides a little stiffer. i'm running a pro-kit with stock shocks on my mazda 3 at the moment, and after having been in a mates car with coils, am yearning for that extra stiffness.... anyways i don't really know much bout this so dont go buy what i say too much.
