Your pushing for bouncy with that much of a drop on your stock springs.

My Tokico Blues helped give me a softer ride.

get the alignment checked before you buy a camber kit, I know it sounds kinda backwards, but you may save yourself some money if you dont actually need the kit. I dropped my car with coilovers, so I dont have an exact inch number, but I would guess it to be about an inch and a half (maybe close to 2), no camber problems. I think your toe being off is actually what you need to worry about more.

I would think getting the align. done first is a good idea but to add to that I would also suggest paying the 25-50 per wheel they charge for lifetime alignment it'll save you in the long run, I think it's normally $50 per axle.
