Thank you appreciate it!

No rubbing whatsoever, car loaded and even under heady braking and turn in (confirmed at the last AutoX event lol)

Has been a great mod and honestly don't think it makes sense to go with the Prokit given the minimal margin between the two.
Also do you know if they cut the bump stop?

Your car looks great with the 1” drop. How has it affected drivability? I would love to lower the car slightly + install a front splitter, but I do scrape on certain angles at stock height even. Any issues thus far?
No not yet,...

First ride this year in the CTR. Have one side picture with the Pro-Kit. I’m assuming it’s fully settled, but it has only been driven 20kms. I will give it some more time.
Looks great! It looks fairly low. Sportline would be even lower!

That’s exactly my thoughts as well. I haven’t driven it very much and still needs an alignment. But I’m happy with how it looks aesthetically. I had a real hard time deciding between the Pro-Kit and Sportline springs. I don’t think you can go wrong with either, but am very satisfied with my choice.

Pro-Kit rides a little softer overall, with Sportline having higher spring rates. This is what I would probably base my decision on. The 0.2 inches between the spring sets likely won’t make a very noticeable difference.

That's amazing. Over 1" drop -15mm spacers and still doesn't rub under autoX lean. Are you running a lot of camber in the front?

The car was aligned with factory specs after the springs were installed

How does the ride feel now a couple months later, any issues with drop or spacers?

What is everyone seeing for rear camber specs with an Eibach drop, without adjustable camber arms?

Nope! Has been great, only thing I would say is that with this setup, throwing a lip on would be a bit of a gamble lol. Aside from that, no issues, couple of autocross days and no issues.

I’m digging this look so much. Have you measured the drop on the sportlines? Is it leveled or the fronts are lower than the rears? Thanks

I haven't personally measured the "true" drop but based on the specs for the springs, 1.2" F and 0.9"R, it does create a positive rake, which i like personally.

The fitment does look great, note, I am on 15mm spacers.
