Skunk2 or Sportlines?

I'm stuck between getting the Skunk2's and the sportlines. I'm looking for a drop between 1.75-2 inches and a (hopefully) even drop between the front and rear. Anybody with the springs installed wanna weigh in on how they like em and how they ride?

Sportlines are your best bet for a pretty even drop from front to rear. The Skunk 2's will be a good bit lower in the front compared to the rear.

TRUTH^^
i never liked skunk2 spring because of the wheel gap they leave on the rears -- visually looks higher than stock because the fronts are much lower, but some people that raked look.

i vote sportlines

I had the Skunk 2s on my GD, I loved them. nice drop all around once they broke in, awesome ride, nice and smooth and helped to hug the corners a little better.
Don't know that much about the other springs, but will say I was very happy with the Skunks.

The Skunk2s do not sit level when left alone. There is a definite rake to them, +2 on the looking higher than stock thing. I cut one full coil off the rear springs and they sit nice and even now. The ride is firm to a little bouncy, but not un-liveable. HTH
