Default Skunk 2 Shocks/Springs

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew the drop front and rear on this set up. http://jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewPrd.a...t=3958#details It didn't say on the site...also what you recommend for camber kits. Looking at SPC bolts for the front and Skunk2 control arms for the rear. Would that be sufficient for that drop? I can't imagine it being more then 1.7". thanks

if those are just skunk2 lowering springs, its about the same as the tein s tech and the eibach sportline. but i heard that they were a little bouncy. same with tein. thats why i went with eibach and since its a progressive spring design, you get the ride quality with performance.

but spring rates make all the difference when it comes to springs

Can't decide what I want. Advantages with the HFP is the drop is smallest enough you don't have to worry about the camber/toe but the drop is small (Heard around 1"). I am looking for 1.5-2.0 inch drop...Any Suggestions on set-ups including camber kits, etc. for around $1000?
