How low can you go?!?!
I've got a 1.2" drop f & r now and I've decided not low enough. I have ordered Skunk2 full coilovers and am going to drop 2.5 rear and 3 front. Also I will be doing the rear disc break conversion!
Anyway, does anyone know how much camber adjustement I'm going to need? The difference in cost between a +0-1.5 and a +0-3.5 balljoint is worth asking about. I think I'm going with SPCs adj kits. They are a local suspention company. Thanks!

It ain't about minor issues like drivability, suspension travel and the inability to conquer speed bumps.
It's all about being lower than the next guy.
And kidney belts are for old guys! 17 year olds aren't even aware they have kidneys yet.

I'm not too worried about the kidneys! I think I'm going to go with SPCs adjustable balljoint and adjustable rear arms... Anybody have any experiance with SPC?? Don't want to buy shitty equipment!

SPC and Ingalls are basically the only two makers of adj. balljoints and are considered to be "top companies". I would trust either brand equally the same, but I went w/ Ingalls as I could get them a bit cheaper. So far they are holding up great! The build quality seems good and they are pretty heavy balljoints!

I have a 6th Gen sedan, haven't put the kit on yet, because I'm still on the stock rims, but once I put the summer's on, I'll probably need it as well as having the fenders rolled.

Your control arms need a certain amount of suspension travel / geometry.

Re: How low can you go?!?!
.... springs are great but the control arms still break . buy aftermarket arms and watch the road.... thats my best advice...use the fogs for something other than just bein there for looks.

Re: How low can you go?!?!
you said you just bought the skunk2 coilovers huh? well first off they are not full coilovers. they are struts and coilover sleeves on those struts. I have them. They are not bad. The coils are all the way down in the front, only gave me a one finger gap in the front.......not low enough....and the rear still has some more to go, but it has a one finger to match the front.
Here's a reference picture:
If you want to go low low, like slammed, you need full coilovers. Definitely. So be prepared to spend around a grand, more or less.
