im sure the sportlines work just fine for the track, they are just too much drop for me. although i do love looking at steve's car over in the "springs" thread (no homo)

sportlines and 275/60 MT's-28inch tall tire



IMO Sportlines look good, but are not optimal for drag racing.

Mine are Roush/DUB/Pro-Kit Bo-Bo's.... should be fine with an adjustable shock/strut.

i have a few months until i need to make a decision since id like to put it all on in May, or, if i can get the wife to take it to TS, i'll have it done before i get home so i dont have to worry about all of that like i did last month with the Paxton install. took way more time than i planned and the wife wasnt happy.
The pro kit is a better option. Personally I do not like sportline springs. I had them once on an old car, took them off a week later. The ride was shit, they handled terribly, etc. Everyone has a opinion, I like H&R springs in every way better then eibach. I have since switched to a set of H&R race springs, with a set of properly valved Bilstein shocks and the car is a completely different animal. I get nothing but compliments from people on the ride quality, and overall feel of the car. The hand full of new 5.0s i have driven with sportlines i hated. but this is just my opinion.

Same springs I have, we bought them at the same time. I don't hate the ride, but I've had much better. Couldn't beat the price we paid though!

I think I'm leaning towards the Strange struts/shocks. They'll do what I want and give me a little more flexibility than a set of STR.T's for pretty much the same price.

Slow (1.82 best), but I'm fairly certain the 20s are hurting more than the springs.

I've got these. They are nice. But after dialing in the ride, it isn't greatly different than my stock Brembo shocks/struts, and I had to get them pretty stiff to tame the Sportlines' bounce. I think you'll like them.
