The springs will settle.. trust me ! !

Also, wait until after they settle to get your alignment...

What shocks did you go with ?

Looks low enough to me.. you don't want to go too low because then the wheelwells start looking stupid.

Notice how the curve of the wheelwells match the curve of your wheels = good thing.

cool....i was just wondering, becuase before i put the Sportline on i had stock springs (cut 3/4 coil on all 4) and it used to sit pretty much the same as it does now. And with all these people saying sportlines lower too much, i was expecting to be really low. Oh well.....Looks good to me.
Thanks

I put a pro-kit on mine last week and this week it sits alot lower then it did last week! Just give it time, it should settle down.

Looks good Marcin. How low do you think they should be? Any lower and the tires will be rubbing the wheel wells out the hole

I hate to say it, but I've seen Pro-Kits with less wheelwell gap. Do the shocks play any part in how much the car is lowered?

my sportlines tuck the tires with the stocks and the 20's. So there is no gap at all. really negitive gap... so yours is really high
