I just installed my Eibach sportline springs with Tokico shocks this past weekend and I LOVE THEM! The drop looks awesome, and like you, I still have my stock GT wheels on (for now). I am also getting the Kaminari body kit, and I don't think I will have any trouble with scraping. I haven't had any trouble with it yet. I still have my stock front bumper on right now though. I absolutely LOVE the sportlines though, they look awesome.

get ground controls :)
I've got TRD (also Pro Kit) and its a nice drop... they've settled alot, but shortly I think I'll be switching to some ground controls... I just dont want any wheel gap. :)

I got TRD..same as pro kit.. it is a nice drop once settled.. i think TRD would be da best one with kit... i don't mind a finger gap between my wheels and fender...

Hey man,
I got TRD (prokit)--- I hate it --- Don't get me wrong --- the ride is great and I do have the Kaminari Front facisa --- so I don't ever have to worry about scraping. As far as the drop goes though --- It's equivalent to driving around with 4 rims in your trunk --- massive fender tire gap. Don't let this steer you away from your decision --- The ONLY reason I went TRD was strictly warranty. (I've only had the springs for a month -- they may not have settled yet). But I knew what I was getting into before I got the springs --- I saw how minimal the drop was. Hope that helps

Get the sportline...i've got it, and i love it...The ride is damn good, and my handles like a dream. I wish it could have dropped it a little more due to the fact that i still have fender gap, but thats prob because i'm running on 17's with 205 40's...next i'm getting 215 45's which would prob. eliminate the fender gap.

As long as i go really really slow over speedbumps I don't scrape. But if I have more than 2 people in the car it scrapes on every damn thing. Not in the front end, just the under side of the car. My exhaust has hit the pavement a couple of times too when I was pulling into steep drive ways.

I got the Sportlines. I love them. You can check out my pictures if you wanna see how they'll look. I haven't scraped on anything yet, and I drive through construction quite a bit, too.

Isn't the Pro-kit stiffer than the Sportlines?
