They have a better rate that will allow for better weight transfer but also give a nice stance.
my mistake, i meant the pro kit springs, not the sportline...i get them mixed up sometimes.

i have also been looking at the ultralites for a while now.

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.
