getting ready to lower the beast-advice needed

2020 1ss. getting ready to toss a set of eibachs on it. question is are there anything else I should be replacing/buying/doing while in there OTHER than relocating the rear wiring harness just incase I decide to add wider tires in the future?

as an fyi, we do NOT track the car, we do NOT autox the car. it is a weekend cars/coffee or date night car so not looking to build up a suspension that will take on the nuremburgring, only to lower the car a little for some better looks so although I know there's improvements in sway bars, camber plates and the such, only looking for any "must do's" while I have it torn up and want to buy ahead of time...

thx all for any input. LOVE this car and can't wait to see it dropped just a tad.

I originally put BMR springs on mine and was really happy with the stance. I didn't make any other suspension changes until I decided to track the car.

I put the Eibach springs on mine a couple years ago. No issues at all. I did move the harness when I put the wider wheels on, but It hasn't rubbed at all.

If buying Eibachs, I think you'd be happiest with the Pro kit (about an inch).

Sportlines = slammed and a significant loss of suspension bump travel.

5th car here on eibachs and yes, pro kit only(have had them for 2 months now but too hot here in the desert to work in the garage right now). not sure I even saw a sportline for the maro but I've stayed away from sportlines on any car.

reason for asking- heard there are some single use bolts that have to be replaced or possibly reused and something about clocking something in the rear. eclipse/evo/gennie coupe were easy to drop. install and done. just making sure it's as easy on this car. non mrc if it matters.
