Was wondering which kit is better for me? I live in Canada, so our winters can be brutal. I daily drive my civic hatch and I don't go through a lot of speed bumps. I'm leaning more towards the sportline, but I'm just scared of the snow during the winters.

I ordered the Sportline for my R and heard that's the best option to have more of a daily driver feel. I wanted something that is a bit stiffer, but didn't want to go coilovers because I didn't want to lose the (comfort, sport, +R modes)

Pro-kit is good for a day-to-day driving in inclement weather conditions. Sportlines is better for mild weather conditions, in my opinion. Here is my pro-kit springs with camber arms.

A lot of pics I’ve seen of ProKit drops are all over the place. Some look like there’s significant gap, others like yours look more like a Sportline drop. How much of a gap do you have?

Did you buy the kit with the stabilizer bars and camber kit? I just got the Sportline springs, but debating on that kit. I've heard from people it makes it too stiff overall in the corners, compared to the stock

I bought things separately. The springs, the camber arms, the Si sway bar and Accord endlinks are all what i have in the back. The front has strutbar, w brace, and the mid brace. I like how it handles corners tho.

I have Sportlines but I don’t deal with harsh winters here in California. For you I would go pros if you see a decent amount of snow

Are the sway bar and end links completely necessary for the sportlines if I want to run them?

You can go with just the springs by itself without the needs for the sway bar and end links. Since you already have the Si sway bar, upgrading your end links (plastic/rubber) to the Accord's ones (aluminum) is an economic upgrade for around $20 if I recalled correctly.
Now for the sway bar, my hatch sway bar is 16.5mm for your preference. I upgraded to the Si (18mm). I am currently hunting for the CTR sway bar (20.5mm). I don't track my car so I am going with everything Honda to keep the cost low. You can also go all aftermarket with the sway bar and end links.
