Should I get this for my GD3?

Im looking at a set of slighty used Eibach Pro Kit springs for my 2008 Fit Sport. I have 17's on my car. I am a newbie when it comes to springs, suspension, etc. If I get these springs, would my Fit need anything else so I can avoid any issues with camber, alignment, excessive tire wear, etc? Is there any concern that I should be aware of?? Thanks FF!

The drop is 1.6 inches in the front and 1.3 in the rear.

you might want to do the fender lining mod for the front incase you rub.

offset on the wheels? you might be able to get away with just slight rubbing if they're 17x6.5 +45 and tires are 205/40/17 (depending on brand)

I could be wrong but if the car is lowered then the rear camber WILL be off. I found this out by putting a coilover kit on my car which lowered it modestly. When I put it on the alignment rack the rears were out. I took that measurement and bought new rear stub axles. Had them machined then installed on the car. Back in the alignment rack, all was good.
