typically, rule of thumb is anything past 1.5", a camber kit should be used, anything less than 1.5 is fine.
and your setup will cost a million dollars :
inky finger held closely to tip of lips::
300$ wont get you very far...seeing as how you need a nice set of shocks to match with any aftermarket springs you decide to get...+you need to get an alignment right after before you come and cry to us about "camber" wear...

Get some Koni Sports and use your OEM springs on the lower perch point for a slight drop. Ride will be fantastic. Koni's will cost less than $600 nowadays...

if you just want your car to look nicer, just get Tein S Tech or H&R Sport springs with KYB AGX or Tokico Illuminas. The ride should be firm, comfortable, and look decently dropped as well.

no, I only used them for normal daily driving. The car was parked in storage over the winter and has been on jack stands all summer. I barely got to use them at all. Honestly - if I do sell them, I will probably buy another set when I can afford to. They gave my car an awesome ride even lowered about 1.5in.

get D2 coilovers. You dont have to have camber kits under 1.5 inches. I aligned cars all the time with drops at honda. As long as the toe is set right you will be fine. But just cause im OCD a bit id get camber kits if it was me. But nothing will break or anything like that without camber kits.

I really don't think he (ricoMugenlude97) was offering to sell them. He was just stating a fact.
If your asking me $700 shipped. Let me know soon or there going on EBAY.
