I dont want to get a camber kit etc.. and I live in Maine so i really dont want my car on the ground due to the winters here. I am just looking to drop it slightly around 1" or less, but Other than going adjustable all the springs I see are for more than an inch The Tein H would be perfect but they say FWD only.... The Eibach pro-lot are 1.3, would i need a camber kit for that? Also if anyone knows of a better spring to go with it woudl be appreciated. I am not looking to go hard core on the suspsension, im getting a set of Tokico Hp's and probably later this summer im going to get sway bars and strut bars.

thanks in advance all
 
You wouldn't need one for 1.3 inch drop. That's virtually nothing. The main reason they recommend camber kits is due to early signs of tire wear if the camber is off. Generally you only have to worry about that on 2inch or more drops.
 
good to know, if the Eibach pros with the tokico hp's only drop me 1.3 i think thats a good moderate distance and should be better handeling but not too uncomfy. Should i replace the bushings in the stock sway bars?
 
Is it honstly worth it if im really not planning to do autox or anything like that? I mean if there is any clear advantage then by all means Im willing to put out the money. I have read some about the sway bars correcting the understeer which had me interested and I read if you install both front and rears you may actually get a little oversteer.
