Here are some pics of my sportlines. I measure 14in from center of hub to fender in front, and 14.25 in the rear. I hope this links work, if not I could email them to you. Cardomain was being a POS tonite. Don't mind the scraps. I did that before the drop. Damn MI streets

interesting. you have an NA and yours is almost even both front and rear. i think the GXP's sit a little higher in the rear according to ducktapes images and measurements.

I think that's pretty accurate. next thing they need is some spacers to get the wheel back out flush.

one thing i just realized is the fact that ducktapes stock height in the rear was 28.125 whereas his sportlines height in the rear is 27.25. this is only a difference of .875. The sportlines are supposed to drop the car 1.7" according to eibach's website.

i'm confused?

yeah I don't understand that either. At first I thought it was because my proline springs were for a n/a and there was talk that there was a difference. That was one of my reasons for switching to the sportlines.

I'll take some pics with measurements before and after I get the sportlines installed. Then we can compare.

My sportlines measured almost the same as the KW's listed above the last time that member and I talked about it. I think the only difference was the rear of my car was .25 higher, but the front was the same.
