I have the pro kit and I like it. Cleaned up a bunch of gap. But I like the rake as well and if I could do it over again I would get the eibach drag launch kit.

Get what I got:

It lowers the car 1" evenly front and back. You get to keep the factory rake which I happen to like. Sorry I don't have any pictures of my car.

The Saleen Racecraft suspension kit supposedly lowers only 1" all the way around. Tho I have read that the springs used in the Saleen kit are the Eibach Pro Kits. If that is true, Pro Kits are supposed to lower about 1.5" all the way around.
I just purchased the Saleen kit from Stage3Motorsports.com so I will be installing it in the next month or so. Will let everyone know how it turns out.

The pro kit should keep the stock rake, unless I'm mistaken....The specs I saw looked to be about 1" on all four corners.

The FRPP springs and Eibachs are the same, or have been for 3 years.

The pro kit pretty much levels out the car. It's what I have. I think the front came down more than the rear, but it's been a few years since I lowered it so I do not recall exactly.

the install doesnt seem to be too bad either, never done a spring install like this 1 though, where you have to compress the spring from the strut assembly. shouldnt be too bad though
