Default Lowering the 2011 V6

So I want to lower this thing and Eibach tells me they donthave a kit made yet for the 2011 because the suspension is different from years past. Well I called steeda and they told me that the sprins they sell fit the 2005-2011 because the springs are unchanged. I want to order the Steedas but want to make sure they would fit first.

I noticed that Steeda has two kits. The Sport with a 1" front and 1-1/4" back drop and the ultra light with a 1-1/4" front and 1-1/2" back. If I go with the ultra light do I need any supporting mods because of the new height???

Ehh this is a real one way or another question based on the responses you will get. You can get away with just camber bolts or castor/camber plates to fix the camber if it gets out of wack when you lower it. Alot of people will say you need an adjustable panhard rod too but I didn't see any need for one as my axle didn't shift at all, if it did its nothing noticeable. Also people will say you need new shocks/struts because the stocks will wear out after so long.

But I just lowered mine last week and just used the eibach pro kit and camber bolts and everything is fine.
