Sam: I want to purchase a starter kit from you but I can NOT install it myself. I admit it is beyond me and the small amount of tools I have. Do you have a recommendation for someone in St. Louis or Indy that can install your parts? Thanks, and let me know when a good time to call is 
You can call anytime, but PLEASE leave a message if I can't answer... I'm just one guy.
I could make some inquiries about installation. Nobody I can think of off the top of my head in either city, but I race with folks from both places and could ask for some recommendations from those folks.

What is the major difference b/w the Multi-Pro R1 Coil-over kit $1,764 & Coil-over kit--KW Variant 3 $2,199 on Strano site?

They’re both adjustable for compression, rebound and height.

Now I'm confused... in the other thread you asked about the R2's vs. V3's. Here you want to know about R1's vs. V3's? Just making sure.
R1's have linked compression and rebound, the KW V3's have independent compression and rebound. And like the R2's, the R1's use softer springs than KW.

So you want to compare R1's to V3's? V3's give you more tuning options, have firmer springs, and I feel better damping control overall.
Eibach's start out at about a .8" drop down to 2.5" or so lower. KW's have a minimum drop of about 1.3" (average) down to the same kind of 2.5" range.

So I went back to post #1.
An alternative to the MM C-C plates is the Steeda HD strut mounts, which as far as the strut mount function itself is concerned will be better than the OE mounts (especially when lowered). There is around a degree of camber adjustability either way built into them.
