I have intrax now and they blow, I need something better before I thrash my Konis. The Intrax springs sagged real bad and ride hard. I will miss the stance as I move to better springs, thats why I am curious about the sportlines. Do they sag a lot? When saggin' occurs do they reach a 2 inch drop. See I have 16 inchers and the pro kits are nice but I want a hair less fender gap action. Help....

i hear that the sport lines will cause you to bottom out alot, and also you have to roll up your fenders, if i were you get the prokit, when they settle they go down to 1.6 or so i just ordered some

They are not that bad. It does basically depend on what you do in the car ... just have to be careful. The sportlines make the car look good because they are low but they aren't bad to the point that you'll bottom out everywhere either. Although, I wouldn't try doing any off roading with them. FYI I used to have sportlines.

yeah...why did you switch?
ps...what with all the confusion over what you should and should not post...i am not sure if i should have asked that here or just emailed the guy...lol...but yes i am also interested to know why you switched from the sportlines. i have heard that the ride is kinda harsh (duh...i think we all read the same board)...but what was your reason?

Well I had sportlines with AGXs and the car had alot of roll to it. The sportlines spring rate is pretty soft and that's not good. It might have to do with the older the spring the more it loses it's tension and the more it sags. I switched to pro-kits and even tho it raised it up say .5" the car is more stable in turns- the ride is a wee better too. I'm just waiting for those tokico blues to come to switch out my AGxs

I have sportlines w/ tokico illuminas and i love them- i think they're the perfect drop for me. Im not into all that hardcore cornering or stuff though, so i dont really notice roll or stuff- it rides well for me, and im happy with them

I just put sportlines on with tokico blues...the ride feels as comfy as stock and I can take 90 degree turns at 45mph with only a slight squeak out of the tires. Pretty dayum cool with me.

i have sportlines with tokico blues now- they do not corner as well as pro kits do. I had prokits on my 1G b4 I got the 2G. Only thing sportlines are good for is looks. Go with pro kits

Reason I switched was I got an excellent deal on the prokits and I'm getting into road racing and needed a more aggressive spring rate. That and Dino (DarkOne) has these ENORMOUS speed bumps at his new apartment complex that was a pain in the ass to get around. FYI they are probably 4-5 inches tall but I only bottom out when I speed through them like an idiot ... any other time I clear them just fine but at 5 mph.
