If you cut the bumpstop and your car sits lower you are riding on them and the car is too low for the spring rate!

Sportlines are soft and the ride will suck on anything other than smooth roads as you'll be bottoming out quite a bit with the xtra weight up front.

If you are looking for a certain height or look, Ground Control is always a good option.

my friend has sportlines on his type R

they dropped the back down to the tire, and left like an inch or inch/half gap up front.

looks really ugly imo,
and handling is worse than stock.

he needs new shocks, but still.

I say HR
