Well the main difference between the sportlines and the pro-kit is.....yeah right. Click the big red SEARCH button -->--^ and about 500 posts will come up regarding this question. There will also be plenty of other related questions answered for you.----------------------------------------------------------------

Pro-Kit springs will give your car a drop of 1.2 inches in the front, and 1 inch in the rear, with outstanding handling. These are usually the springs people recommend going with if you want to rip around the curves.

Sportline springs will give your car a 1.7 inch drop in the front, and 1.4 inch drop in the rear. Naturally the handling will improve as well, but I have heard Sportlines are good if you want drop, Pro-Kit if you want performance.

Changing shocks is usually recommended when you change your springs, just because you have all that crap apart and right in your face to do at the same time, and you'll be starting with fresh parts all around, but it isn't 100% necessary. Pro-Kit springs were designed to work with your stock struts so if you don't have the cash to buy new ones, you won't blow anything up.

Hope that helps, and do consider the purchase of my new-in-box Eibach Pro-Kit springs for the '95-98 240sx.

what about sportlines...since the drop is bigger, do they work with stock shocks?

prokit is stiffer spring = more spring ratesportline is softer but lower

before you go out and buy new absorbers and springs I'd try cutting my springs a half a coil with an acetylene torch or dremel. I'm sure you could find a how-to on google.
