My suggestion is this one:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach...stem-1112.html
The sport-System lowers the car too much in my opinion.....at that height you will def need cc plates.

I agree, the Pro-System-Plus is the way to go! The Pro Kit springs lower the car just enough where you can get away with a normal alignment without having to worry about caster/camber plates. It makes life alot easier. The kit will increase handling like crazy, reduce nose-dive when you're heavy on the brakes, and eliminate body roll.
Any time you go over 1.5" drop, that's when you have to start worrying about whether or not you'll need caster/camber plates to be within spec. This system drops about 1.5" in the rear and closer to 1" in the front, and makes for a really aggressive stance. However, you won't have to worry about the car being too low for speed bumps, etc.
As for the quality, Eibach is top-of-the-line. They even private label manufacture for dozens of other companies out there, including Ford Racing. Their endlinks are billet aluminum and use poly-urethane bushings and they ship with shocks & struts engineered specifically for a lowered S197 chassis. Basically, the car will still retain all of the ride comfort that you don't want to sacrifice when you're running errands, but you'll be able to take turns at 80mph that you never would have imagined at 60mph before!
Hit us up if you have any questions at all about this kit! We install Pro Kit springs on 90% of our own company Mustangs, and for Project Blackout (our 2012 GT Project Car) we installed this exact kit. It handles like a beast! Hope this helps!

P.S. Here's what it looks like installed, with 19" Charcoal AmericanMuscle AMR Wheels on our 2012 Manual GT:

This is better and costs less:

you don't need new sway bars, but if you want to replace them replace the rear swaybar...there's no advantage on the street to replacing your front sway bar with a stiffer 1 unless your road coursing your stang.

I have Eibach Sportlines and the Anti Roll Kit mixed with stainless steel LCA's and panhard as well as a BMR UCA and Maximum Motorsports C&C plates. So far my s197 carves up the twisties but I'll be looking to get a set of Koni Adj Shocks and Struts. I have had some drawbacks because of the car coming to me with lower springs only on 20's! It's an awesome thing you're going with a kit though, take it from a guy who's been into the alignment shop 2 times in the past year, do it the right way the first time.

I recently put the Steeda sport springs on mine (about 1" drop in front) and camber ended up at about -1.2 degrees. Not enough camber that I'm worried about it, as long as the toe is set right.
