Hello ,

I just got my pro kit in the mail. My friend who is a writer for a car magazine said I shouldn’t install them bc the cars handling is already tuned so well and it will mess up the geometry.... what have users here experienced ? He said there won’t be noticeable changes

I noticed a difference right away.

I love the look...but the feel is not as good as the factory setup. I don't think too many will agree with me though. I have gotten used to the different feel and don't notice it as much anymore (before, I felt the rear came around easier). Admittedly, my issue may just be that the rear camber has more negative camber...and fixing that could solve the issue I feel.

I might go back to stock...but it will be tough knowing I won't look as good, lol.

Looks great. Do you have trouble clearing speed bumps and driveways

No issues clearing speed bumps or my driveway (has a slight incline). There are certain areas I pull into that I have to come at an angle to avoid scrapping the front lip, but honestly, I think it'd be the same without it being lowered in those situations.

Prokit was less than an inch i believe .8" drop or maybe .7"

The set of pics with factory wheels was with my Canon DSLR (like a 2009 model) I rarely use it lol...I should try using it again some day.

I got rid of prokit, tried spoon (liked it more than eibach) but now on HKS Hipermax
