I have the Eibach pro kit on mine, it lowers the car by 30mm with a slightly increased spring rate. I think the sportline kit lowers the car by 40mm with a much harder spring rate.

I chose the pro kit for 2 reasons. The first being i didn't want to compromise the ride quality to much and secondly i have heard stories of the car bottoming out with the sportline kit fitted.

As i chose to lower my car mainly for aesthetic reasons i personally think the pro kit does the job very well. If you are more into trackday/handling the maybe the sportline kit would better suit your needs.

I am not planning pn doing any trackdays, so just for looks. Pro-kit might be the way to go hearing this. wink
