You're fucked dude...The rule of thumb I have always heard is a MAXIMUM of 1.5 inches. That's why I bought H&R sport springs.

My bro has Tanabe Super H's and they lowered an 1" he says he's really happy. When he was getting them installed the mechanic said that the ride felt like a supra.

Every chassis is different. You cannot do the Camber kits until the springs/shocks are on the car and you get the alignment and its printout. MY 5th gen is dropped on Neuspeed Sport springs and needed kits on all 4 corners. You may not need the amount of correction I did. I also have STB's front and rear on top only. There are no sub boxes or other additional weight in the rear.
Need help-drop me an e-mail with your data.
