chances are by just throwing in lowering springs, your stock struts will blow and youll have a shitty ride (like mine) so if you want to avoid it, get a lowering kit that includes everything including camber kit and struts and springs and possibly coilovers...in the faq thread, all of this should be under suspension

If you plan on lowering your car, get coilovers w/ top hats. Might be costly but its worth it.

With coilovers you can adjust the height for your car, you get a better comfort ride (assuming your going for top brands like GC's), and the top hats prevents your shocks form being blown.

But if you do plan on following your own plans, then get new shocks as well.

Ground Controls are a great medium between lowering springs and real coilovers. If you want to go a little cheaper with suspension but want adjustability, then the GC's will suit you.

"What all do i need"
better title. Jk man

I forget what brand makes springs with that drop but i know they're out there. Other than that all you need are shocks. Since you're drop won't be anywhere near 2", a camber kit is not necessary. my cousin's accord has more of a drop and he isn't bothering with a kit either and tire wear is not an issue for him.
