Help needed with springs!

Im on tirerack and I saw these two:

1. Eibach- Avg low 1.0"F & 1.0"R
2. H&R- Avg low 1.3"F & 1.3"R

I was wondering how these would look like from the regular drop from the vehicle. If you guys can show me pictures, I much will appreciate it!

Is that all I need to install it? Just springs? Or do I need something extra with the spring to help lower the vehicle

Just springs, all i have is the eibachs (for dropping the car) and it looks nice...I mean if you have 800 dollars and want to take it to the next level you can go with coilovers, but its not mandatory

So if I keep my 17 wheels but change the tires, I should get new tires first before installing the springs?

What kind of tires do you plan to change to? If you're sticking with the stock 17s, you should be ok with installing the springs first.

It went lower 2 inches both front and rear. Honestly it feels the exact same to me but maybe its because im used to being in a lowered car? IDK but its cheap, looks nice, and i've been running them for about 3 months now and they work just fine.

I like the drop on this. It looks clean, simple, and will definitely turn heads. Do you have any camber issues with the springs?

There is camber but it's not huge. With my new 18s its less noticeable. Well at least to me.
