How many miles do your shocks have on them at (stock hieght and lowered)? When I had prokits they were great but my shocks had about 10k miles on them when I put the lowering springs on. The only thing that bothered me was the ride hieght. Everyone thought I was still at stock hieght...Bugged the living crap out of me.
I know you just threw down more than a grand on these wheels and the last thing you want to think about is putting down even more money on suspension...But the best thing I could recommend for a quality suspension setup that doesn't break the bank would be the Ground control springs w/ 450 lb springs(standard is 380 and is still a little too soft, imo) mated with Koni yellow shocks(they can be used up to 500 lb springs before they need to be revalved). Under a grand quality...A build your own coilover.

Excellent info. I got the car with 60k miles and im now at 73k, so I have no idea if the shocks have ever been replaced. I know that they DO need to be replaced, and the question of using the pro kit springs with an adjustable shock has been on my mind. I suppose if i went with the yellows I wouldnt be able to use the pro kit springs?

^^ It's actually called Satin Black Chrome. The barrel and inside the spokes are satin black while the face is a darker chrome(I put mine next to some chrome wheels and the finish is a few shades darker than regular chrome). Looks wicked at night like a black/charcoal chrome. The wheels are still super light, though(15-16 lbs).
