The Pro's are too soft, and they over-lower, best avoided

Are these for your hatch? If so I'm afraid I have no experience in that application
If it was me I would happily go with the prodrive's

Well, as much as i know you know your stuff , i'm not sure prodrive's would be better than Pro R kit, it's very personal opinion.. I must agree , they lower a bit to much , but Prodrives are as soft and gives not alot comparing to standart springs ... Everyone's to their on i guess...
