pro-kits work well w/ stock shocks to give ya a stock ride...they lower it enough but you'll still have a 3-4 finger gap.

personally with either of those spring sets u'll have a stock look (just a bit lower but raised up cuz of the rim height) for me i went lower (changed from pro kit to sportlines) only i thought the pro kit wasnt low enough and looked stock so any of the 3 u'll be fine with

17" wheels will deteriorate your ride, even with stock suspension. if youre driving 200mi/day, your looking at replacing your tires every almost every three months (17 lowpro hiperf tires almost NEVER have mileage warranties or guarntees).

Look into some Bridgestone RE 950's. They are awesome for all-season, high performance tires and have a 40k mile treadlife warranty.
I have them and love them - they also get great reviews on tirerack. They are kinda pricey up front but are actually quite a bit cheaper per mile.

i get my nittos and faulkens from a shop that charges the same price as they do online so i pay about 100 for mine where most shops in NYC want to charge 120 or more for 215/47/17's since they say its a special size
