i think pro's are more comfratable than sport's when you get it really low down

Pros are probably stiffer, for racing; therefore, less comfortable.

Since you're not going to be racing go for the Sport they'll still be a better suspension, and you won't kill your *** riding around from all the bumps.

yea I really think you'll be better off with sport
I think the race coilovers would not be very good on a daily-driver

I have skunk 2 coilovers, and my ride sucks a$$. Its terribly stiff. Well of course I have kyb agx shocks with them. If I hit a crack in the road it feels like hitting a freakin speed bump. But I guess it does have f'n awesome handling. So if you don't mind riding like a go-cart, go with the pro's.
