Eibach spring/ARB kit Q's

   First off, I've got a 2001 Base model Caviler (A/C and intermittent wipers are the only options afaik)

In reguards to the ARB kit, what all does it come with? ie, do you reuse anything of the factory parts?  I ask as my car doesn't have an anti-roll bar at all and if I need to track down any parts needed to install the ARB kit, I'd like to do so before hand.  Granted I'll be doing this part in the upcoming spring, so I do have a bit of time to get things organized, but I'd like to know what I'm getting into a bit before jumping in. 

As for the springs, specifically the Pro kit, how stiff is the ride -- how would it compare to the same kit for another car -- is it a similar firmness?  I ask as my father has the pro kit on his 98 Eclipse and I'll admit it's a bit firmer than I'd like but I'd get used to it anyway (the struts/shocks he's using are GR-2s and I know it's not a recommended setup [at least for the jbody] but it seems to work for him as it's been 4 years now, and no issues)
