Default KYB AGX with more than 1.5" drop?

Is it bad to run KYB AGX Shocks/struts with springs that will lower your car more than 1.5"?

I have S-techs with KYB Gr2's and it is an awesome ride compared to stock. Also, it was pretty cheap! I am not going to Auto-X with it or anything but it is good enough for me

no camber kit because it is only a 1.5 inch drop and the tire wear so far is normal. I did this mod about 5 months ago

How is handling compared to stock?

every car is differnt, me and my brother have the exact same set-up, AGXs and Eibach sportlines, he needed a rear camber kit, i needed a front and rear. it the car not the maker that decides if you need a camber kit.

handling is much tighter and more responsive as compared to stock. I can accelerate through turns much better also.
