Default 08 SI and lowering?

I want to lower my SI about 1.5 to 2.0 inches and don't know whether to go with a strut and spring combination or coilovers. I don't want to worry about camber issues and feel that maybe I should go with the Tein Pro's which have the built in camber adjustment. What has worked for you?

An 08' civic, personally I'd just go with a complete coilover setup, omni,tein etc. And get an alignment , with a 2" drop you shouldn't have to worry too much about camber issues. You'll be fine

Camber won't be an issue in front, with the Mac struts, unless you want to add additional negative camber to help with handling. I'm not sure what the rear does on 01+ Civics as far as negative camber after lowering. But with an alignment, it still shouldn't be an issue.
