How far can I lower the car (1G FWD Turbo) without having to adjust the camber? Or I need to adjust camber in order for camber to be in stock or nearly stock pecifications regardless of how much I lower the car? Approximately how many degress will I need to adjust the camber front and rear for 0.5" drop? 1.0" drop? 1.5" drop?
 
Well as a general rule of thumb for most cars you will want to align your car if you change the suspension no matter what the drop. Some cars are more affected then others.


If your just going to drop your car a bit, then hey a little negative camber is great for handling (read: not for tires though)

If you just want to drop the car for looks then get a camber kit to save your tires.
 
Personally to have camber adjustablity would be the ticket . It is not worht it to lower your car .05 I see no benifit in it niether looks nor handleing.

Just get the camber kit and drop it about 1.5 , you will be happy. Or see what kind of GOOD adjustable coilovers are out there. But don't forget if you lower it. I would HIGHLY reccomend replaceing the shocks with a good aftermaket one.
