I installed the Pro-Kit right away, so I can't make a comparison.

It looks 100-times better now as it is 30mm lower than original. The handling is ok as far as I am concerned. Of course it is stiffer and harder than normal.

The combination of Pro-Kit springs with OEM shocks is not the best, but I am not sure if it would be worth the money to buy new shocks either.

I have been quite satisfied with this setup. Good value for money, looks and handling.
