1.5" drop.... will I need shocks and camber kits?
My suspension is currently stock and I was thinking about dropping it 1.5" all around with springs. Will I need aftermaket shocks and camber kits? Or will the stock one be fine?
Thanks.....

Yep, I'm fine, camber ain't important, alignment and toe is.

I would take it to an alignment shop and have toe put to spec or as close as they can get to spec and then make my decision about a camber kit. For a 1.5" drop, I wouldn't imagine that you would need a camber kit.

Thats about how much my drop is. My camber was out of spec before the drop, and afterwords the camber didnt change much. I needed a camber kit for the rear anyways. After you lower it have them set your toe to 0, they will say "in spec" is fine. Tell them your paying for it, and you want it a certain way. I bought new OEM shocks when I lowered my EJ8 and I kinda wish I would have went with AGX. Its up to you and your budget.

i'd pay up for the new struts, you might as well do it right the first time.
i've got agx struts and eibach springs, and i can't complain. they ride great.
