I am not all that happy with the uncomfortable ride quality that I am getting with my car. I would like to think that since my springs have been cut, they are to blame. However, would a change of shocks make up for that? I originally thought that I needed new springs, so I have priced out new springs. I would like to keep my ultra low ride. anybody know if they are that much worse than the pro-kits? either springs I can get for around $200. I can also get some KYB GR-2 shocks for around the same price. So, the question is... what should I do? I keep hearing this and that from some of the other sites, but I would like to know what you guys think?

The prokit only drops you about an inch, maybe a little more when they settle. The sport kit will get you almost if not all the way to a 2 inch drop. There is a big difference in ride quality, between the two. Especially if you are planning on keeping stock shocks. I would not recommend the sportkit with stock shocks, unless you want to replace the shocks shortly. If you go with the Sport lines you'll need a camber correction kit. You might not with the prokit. If you have money go with sportlines with tokico or koni adjustables. If not prokit and stock shocks might do. Middle is probably the sportlines and KYB AGX adjustables. This is just my 2cents, others will probably have different opinions.

Here is waht you need! to do this properly buy the Eibach sportline kit for about 200 bucks. you can ride on the stock struts and shocks but be prepaired for a harder ride and be prepared to replace them in acouple of months.
then you will need to buy shocks and struts from either KYB or tokico or koni. this will cost you about 500 or up for all four corners. then you should get a front and rear camher kit to adjust your toe on your car. the whole thing to do this right should cost about 8-900 bucks. You can do it cheaper by getting some cheaper products but you get waht you pay for!  hope this helps!
