Default Eibach suspension kit?

Whats up everybody, after searching around on some sites, Ive heard some good reviews on the Eibach Pro series kit. Does anyone have this set-up with some pictures and can give me an opinion on it?
Also looking at the J&M camber plates to go with it, sound good? Thanks!

Here's the Pro-Kit on my old GT500 & then on my brother-in-law's GT. I definitely like, and recommend, these springs. It really offers a nice drop.

This is the only pic I have on my phone of my eibach sportlines. They have settled a little more and the car is a bit lower. I have the J&M camber plates, they're great, the stock plates fell apart as I pulled the front shock out and little metal bearing beads went all over the garage floor. It was a mess with no hope of putting them back together!

here is my car on eibach sportlines, eibach pro struts/shocks, maximum motorsports caster/camber plates and a BMR panhard bar.

I <3 my setup. looks great, handles great, ride isn't too harsh but stays firmly planted in launch / hard braking / cornering conditions.

the camber plates are a great addition - I don't know anything about the J&M kit though, but if they replace the strut mounts for the front end you will definitely need em, and the camber bolts are limited in how much they can adjust. I'd suggest looking into a panhard bar to get everything dialed in one fell swoop. your rear end will shift slightly from being lowered.

There is plenty of information on all of the brands and combinations that the search feature can answer. Here is a link to my thread on my suspension upgrade:

Great info! I think you may have convinced me to get the eibach pro system. Did you order from American Muscle?

Also going to get the BMR adj. panhard bar and the J&M camber plates

Sounds like a good set up to me. If you have the money, go ahead and do it right the first time.

By all means, don't just take only my experience into account. Look up more info. Really, I searched for two years before I had the money and my mind made up of what I wanted.

Ive been researching for a couple months now. It was either between the Eibach pro's or a FRPP K set. But i think i like the Eibach Pro's. Tomorrow is payday, and ill have just enough money to pick up the tab
