If you lower it to 2 inches or more, you should buy after market shocks. Lowering it 2 inches or more with just the OEM shocks will cause the shocks to break down sooner. Just go with full coilover and the camber kit. You won't regret it.

Do a search. We've covered this setup quite a bit. FWIW, I wouldn't buy them.

100% agreed on both...

From my experience with stock shocks and skunk2 coilovers.. save up your money and buy the full suspension. Don't be cheap and go the cheap route.

3 times that. My friend had them on his base model, and was looking to get them off a month later. Full suspension is definately the way to go man. If you got cheap you will pay in the long run comes to mind.

sorry i didn't get to you sooner i was moving this weekend from texas to illinois. I don't know the adjustment range as they were already on the car and i haven't messed with them. The ride is a lot better then just coilovers, i don't feel every bump in the road and i'm loving them.
