Lowering springs ( Eibach ) questions

I know there's a lot of these threads but none answer my questions .
There's three different springs , the pro and then the racing ones. I feel like the pro wth the 1.2 inch drop isn't enough to make a big difference. Does any one have the 1.5 inch drop in the front work actually make seem like you lowered it. And any recommendations on spacers if needed.
So would you go with the 1.2 or 1.5 inch drop in the front

Go look at pictures of cars with the Pro Kit springs. There is less than 1 finger gap all around.

would any lower require camber or rolling the fenders so it doesn't rub??

You should probably get camber arms for the rear and front regardless if its your daily driver.

Some people said they have gotten 14k miles out of tires without camber kits on those springs which to me is fine because I only drive the car 4-5k a year but to others probably not.

You're going to get a lot more detailed and meaningful information by searching. I know all of your questions have been answered numerous times. I've answered each of those questions on this forum numerous times, as have many others.

I'm not lowered yet, waiting till spring. I'm basing all my answers off of the 1500 previous posts people have done on this topic.

Exactly. There's a reason that this thread has been viewed 130+ times, with probably every single person knowing the answer, and no one is responding. People are tired on answering the same questions over and over when people refuse to search and help their own cause.
