Default WHICH SPRINGS?

Help me with my decision. Would i need new caster camber plates with either of these setups? I have narrowed it down to H&R and Eibach ProKit.

I went with H&R on my car. It all depends on what you want. Both are good kits. The H&R springs are going to give you that raked look with the 1.6 inch drop up front, which is why I went with it. While the Eibachs are going to leave you at 1.5 inches all around.

As far as CC plates, you should be fine with this type of drop, since its not as drastic as say a 2 inch. But they will help out when you go into get an alignment, depends if you want to spend the extra money. You could get the springs and be ok. I purchased a set of Maximum Motorsport CC Plates when I got my springs, as well as a set of Tokico HP Shocks and Struts. Put it all on at the same time. Since you are lowering your car, its always good to upgrade the shocks/struts. But, again you can get by with just the springs as many people do. The ride quality is up to you and what you buy.

I don't have any yet, but a buddy of mine has the Eibachs and it makes his Black 01 GT look really good. I will try and get a picture for you.

i have pro-kits on mine. theyre not bad. im running on stock everything, no camber kit. seems fine. and the ride quality didnt really change in my opinion. except maybe for going over speed bumps and stuff.

you wont need c/c plates but i strongly recommend getting your car realigned. otherwise your tires are gonna die!!! my alignment is only 1 degree off c/c plates would get it perfect but i can live with 1 degree off till i do my suspension.
