Default lowering spec

j/w if I can lower my car 1.5 inches on stock shocks and without a camber kit....just get a good alignment...and get away with it without much negative camber? If i get a 4 wheel alignment with 1.5 inch drop should I be fine....money is tight but I need dropped before I go to school...
